Alfie (1966) - Lewis Gilbert

Interesting British film that seems badly dated. I must say I liked it better the first time, when it was The Knack and Richard Lester was the director. Granted the films aren't really similar, but Lester had a wonderful quality of not taking himself seriously, which unfortunately Gilbert doesn't have. I believe this would function better as a straight comedy, but well then it wouldn't have gotten a best picture nomination, and I probably wouldn't have seen it. If you're a Michael Caine fan this is worth checking out in the days before everyone shamelessly kissed his ass.
