'alfie' is chalk full. michael caine wears the role like a cashmere sweater. paul mccartney's girlfriend is in it. shelley winters is in it. the title song is perhaps the best song bacharach/david ever wrote. it was made in 1966 so it has style forever and totally inappropriate attitudes towards women. the lead character turns to the camera to make little asides. ouch.
the cockney man about london town of the title is living la dolce vita till the opposite of life smacks him in the face. by the end of the film alfie would be left all alone were it not for man's best friend.
