About this listen
A warm, wise and funny guide to life from one of Britain's best-loved actors: perfect for all film lovers
-------
Hollywood legend and British national treasure Sir Michael Caine shares the wisdom, stories, insight and skills that life has taught him in his remarkable career.
One of our best-loved actors, Sir Michael Caine has starred in some of the best and most-loved films ever made - from the classic British movies Alfie, Zulu and The Italian Job to the Hollywood blockbusting Dark Knight trilogy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Hannah and Her Sisters and Cider House Rules.
He knows what success takes: he's made it to the top of his profession from the toughest beginning. But as he says, 'Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it.' Now he shares everything he's learned.
With brilliant new insight into his life and work and with his wonderful gift for story, this is Caine at his wise and entertaining best.

packed full of amusing anecdotes delivered in the inimitable Caine Style - actually inimitable is the wrong word as there have been so many imitations of the man. Caine shares his thoughts on his own stoic life philosophy as well as sharing interactions with the stars. He is generous in lots of ways freely sharing his amazing experiences and his invaluable advice. by the end of the book I became so fond of him that I wanted to go and have a pint with him! 🤣 If there were any bugbears and there weren't many at all - it would be that I would love to know more about his out of work actor days with Terence Stamp and what might have led to his falling out and also there is no mention of the part Wolf Mankowitz played in his discovery. It was the screenwriter/producer Wolf who recommended him to Harry Saltzman for the Ipcress File - as he was the producer on the touring 'The Long the Sort and the Tall' . I am also aware that one can't be completely honest about everything while people are still alive
I now want to go and find Michael's chill out compilation 'Caine'
