michael caine plays a selfish womaniser who moves himself from girl to girl to girl
Caine's character dominates the film. The women come and go in his life. While he needs their love and companionship, they are replaceable objects to him
he doesnt get emotionly involved with them..even though he has a kid by one of the women....whats different about the film is that he (Caine) talks to the camera incessantly, often while in the middle of a conversation with others, who take no notice. The camera becomes Caine's best friend and confidant, and allows him to tell us his thoughts
He can feel sorry for himself, of course, but also shows love for his out-of-wedlock son Malcolm, sympathy for a sickly man in a sanatorium, and remorse towards his aborted foetus.
only near the end of the film does he start to question his values..and maybe just maybe he realises it is time to settle down
sounds boring..but it is very entertaining, funny and sad at the same time
a must see...michael caine is brilliant
