The Critics say: Highly versatile, prolific... consistently capable and often outstanding.' (Baseline) The Mind says: Politely ignoring much of his artistic output post 1980, Caine will for many always be the epitome of Sixties Cool, and a staple for impersonators and drunken chancers everywhere - "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!", etc. Recommended viewing: The Ipcress File (1965) - Cockney toerag agent saves country, despite having to sit in front of some rather distracting coloured lights for a bit. Alfie (1966) - Cockney toerag dissects 60's issues like class and sexuality by shagging lots of women. The Italian Job (1969) - Cockney toerag gangster with style writes off numerous classic cars while performing audacious robbery for famous British buftie Noel Coward. Get Carter (1971) - Cockney toerag gangster avenges brothers death by being violent and drinking out of a straight glass. The Man Who Would Be King (1975) - Cockney & Celtic toerags become colonial kings in a far off sunny country through bizarre Freemasons related coincidence. Little Voice (1998) - Cockney toerag club owner swears, drinks and makes money out of talented halfwit. |
