The book is organised according to decades, with film-by-film studies, offering fresh insights into Caine's on-screen performances and his professional relationships with numerous co-stars such as: Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, Sir Laurence Olivier, Glenda Jackson, and Jack Nicholson. The author gives particular attention to Caine's iconic roles - e.g., Harry Palmer and Alfie - as well as the hidden film gems, such as The Wilby Conspiracy (1975) and The Hand (1981).
The book will appeal to Caine fans and movie enthusiasts alike.
