Blowing the Bloody Doors Off And Other Lessons In Life (CAINE, Michael)

Over my 60 years in the movie business, and my 85 years of life, I have been given a lot of useful advice-by Marlene Dietrich, Tony Curtis, and Jack Nicholson amongst many others-and I have learnt a lot of useful lessons, from my many glittering successes and my many disastrous failures...

This book is the result of this reflection. I wanted to look back, from the Elephant and Castle to Hollywood, and from man-about-town Alfie to Batman’s butler Alfred, with all its successes and all its failures, all its fun and all its misery and struggle, its comedy, its drama, its romance and its tragedy, and find in this long and eventful life the lessons I’ve learned.
