| Resumen: | After [MICHAEL CAINE] married a second time and had a baby daughter the book just goes into a litany of the movies he has played in, which is not particularly riveting. A lot of them weren't much, but of course he is an actor and actors have to act. Caine himself, off camera, seems still to be interested only inhimself and what he owns. He became a tax exile. He lives today in Southern California in a three-million-dollar "bungalow" which sounds to me like jail, but it's his house, his life after all. And he says: "I beat the system." I saw "Zulu" in a flea-bag theater in Chicago in about 1964, not because I had heard of it. I hadn't, but my little boys were going bananas at their grandmother's house and it sounded little boyish, which it was. But I liked it even more than they did, and when gorgeous Michael Caine stood behind his gallant troops yelling "First rank, fire!" and so on, I laughed. It was too absurd. The Zulu chief at the time of actual filming had been hired as an extra along with his tribe, and was invited to view the rushes. He was not amused by the scrambled dead warriors, and left in silence. |
