The second scene involved the screening of a pornographic film in which Frank’s girlfriend undresses and makes love to Frank’s teenage daughter. Source / More (Book)

Born as:

Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, Jr

Young Maurice Micklewhite grew up in the slums of South London with dreams of becoming an actor. He entered motion pictures in 1956 and played a variety of roles in such British productions as A Hill in Korea (1956) and Zulu (1964). This was closely followed by his two best-known roles: the spy Harry Palmer, in The Ipcress File (1965) (the first of four films), and the woman-chasing Alfie (1966).

By the 1970s Caine had achieved international stardom. He appeared in the classic Get Carter (1971) and was, again, praised for Sleuth (1972). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Caine turned out films at a formidable rate—often three per year—to somewhat mixed results.

By the end of the 20th century, Caine had appeared in more than 100 films. In June 2005 Michael will star in Batman begins as the trusted butler Alfred.
