Review of Alfie

Alfie (1966)
7/10
What's it all about, Alfie?
10 May 2006
Alfie, the movie which launched Michael Caine's career, is a drama (perhaps dark comedy, although I would not label it as a pure comedy) about the ways of a playboy constantly having affairs with both women - married ones, too! He's a pretty bad character - making the women feel miserable, ordering them around, impregnating them left right and center... yep, a pretty detestable character! But what is great about this movie is that you see Alfie's character change throughout.. when he sees the fetus, when he catches her with another guy, she tells him that "he's younger than you are" and many others. The plot is easy as Michael Caine is the narrator, too (great technique!!).

Great acting, great movie. Funny, touching and meaningful, I recommend it to you.
