Alfie (1966) - Details

Alfie is set and shot in the swinging London of the mid-60s, and uses a unique technique throughout, as Alfie confides in the audience by talking straight into the camera without the others noticing, which gives both comical and disturbing effects. Alfie is truly one of Caine's greatest performances, which earned him world-wide fame and laid the foundation for his international career. By Oliver French.
