A friend was recently talking about Michael Caine's film Alfie (1966), and I realized that I've ever seen it-I have seen the updated version with Jude Law, not so memorable. So I checked it out, and Caine has much more presence than Law and the film seems to be representative of the "angry young man" movement of the 60s and a little misogynist-much darker than I anticipated. I think breaking the fourth wall is quite effective in this film as well-since it's the charming Caine that does it.
