Alfie
Hollywood: Paramount Pictures, 1966. Vintage borderless photograph from the set of the 1966 UK film, showing a very relaxed Michael Caine, laying across the laps of his four costars (Vivien Merchant, Jane Asher, Julia Foster, and Shelley Winters) between takes. Mimeo snipe affixed to the verso.
Based on Bill Naughton's 1966 play, set in sexy, swinging 1960s London, about a young, working class chauffeur who decides to change his womanizing behavior after a tuberculosis diagnosis and the birth of his son. Director Lewis Gilbert breaks the fourth wall in this film, with Caine directly addressing the camera in attempt to gain sympathy from the audience (a technique used again by Gilbert in "Shirley Valentine," 1989). Gilbert also addressed the then-taboo issues of pregnancy and abortion in an uncommonly candid style.
Shot on location in London and Middlesex, England.
7 x 9 inches. About Fine.
