Story Synopsis

Alfie is the sexy and sinful comedy based on Bill Naughton’s play and stars Michael Caine in the irresistible title role. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards® in 1966, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Caine) and Best Supporting Actress (Vivien Merchant). Alfie is a suave womanizer who just can’t resist “birds” (the beloved English expression for women). Whether the women are married, single, young, old or even slightly flawed, Alfie doesn’t care. But his carefree lifestyle soon changes as he gets involved with Gilda, a woman desperate for his love and the mother of his child. No sooner does Alfie learn to love little Malcolm does Gilda leave, taking Malcolm with her. Alfie continues on with his string of lovers, but a little bit of revenge and a near-crisis turns him around. Alfie is a charming and delightful classic with contrasts of drama and tragedy that is sure to touch your heart.
