Posted in British, films, Icons, tagged actor, Alfie, best, British, classic, fashion, film, Gangster, Get Carter, great, greatest, Michael Caine, movie, music, Roy Budd, score, Sir, soundtrack on January 7, 2009| If your knowledge of Michael Caine is limited to Dirty, Rotten, Scoundrels – then you don’t know Jack about Caine. To get a true picture of the man you need to go back, way back – 1971 to be exact. Michael Caine played sexy, smoking, drinking, shotgun-toting, trench-coat wearing British mobster – Jack Carter, out to avenge the death of his brother. Get Carter is widely considered to be one of the greatest British films ever made. Michael Caine’s steely performance and strong, sexy looks are spot-on, and visually the film is a sartorial splendor with clothing and furnishings that look like they’re straight from Savile Row. All of this is underscored by Roy Budd’s legendary and innovative soundtrack. Budd incorporated sound effects from the movie (the famous train scene) along with the music – something no one else was doing. Altogether, it’s a masterpiece and by all means required viewing. Other great Caine films include The Ipcress File (1965) and Alfie (1966). So if you please, put aside Blame it on Rio and get acquainted with the classics. You’ll never think of Sir Michael Caine the same way again.
