Alfie (1966)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Ok, Michael Caine hit a home run and became an international star. But, for this film to be sold as mostly a comedy is puzzling. For the time (60's) this must have been a real shocker. I found it to be a sex eduction and anti-abortion film. (Here's what can happen if you do it & here's how ugly it gets taking care of it.)
Being adapted from stage, I'm not sure how Alfie played to the public at large. Was it a ha-ha comedy or a social indictment? Such a strange mix of humor and pathos.
I'll take Law's Alfie for entertainment purposes.

( huh? )
