Review
Michael Caine has so much to talk about he's just written his second autobiography in which, in glamorous detail, he writes about his time working and living in Hollywood. But for all his tantalising titbits about the movie game it's Michael's private life that is the most fascinating, his personal account of hardship and tragedy. (60 Minutes (Australia))
'Most compelling autobiography since David Niven's The Moon's A Balloon. (RTE Guide, Ireland)
uproarious and unflinching (Mail on Sunday)
Brimming with his gift for genial anecdote (Sunday Times)
To read Caine is to be in the company of an amiable, sentimental man who has achieved great success - and happiness - without appearing to be in the least smug. (Daily Mail, John Preston)
the peeks behind the silver screen make the book light up (New Statesman)
A truly incredible life story. (The Sun)
Caine remains a down-to-earth soul who seems to know everyone who has ever been anyone in the movie business, he loves talking about Hollywood and the extraordinary twists of fate in his career, but has no airs or graces. He was knighted in 2000, but doesn't expect anyone to stand on ceremony for him. "Being knighted was the greatest honour I've ever received, but I don't make people call me Sir. It's for me alone. Everyone calls me Michael.... It's filled with anecdotes of his movie career, his big breaks in Zulu and Alfie, as Harry Palmer in The Iperess File and as the ageing professor in Educating Rita, his encounters with the rich and famous, from The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot to Laurence Olivier, Sidney Poitier, Jude Law, Scarlett Johansson and other stars both at home and abroad. (The Canberra Times)
