| Summary |
Alfie is the ultimate Ladykiller. He is wonderfully successful with women -- and rarely gets emotionally involved with them. But in this charming comedic drama, Alfie experiences a series of reversals that threaten his carefree lifestyle: his health is put into question, his child is adopted by another man, he gets a married woman pregnant, and when he finally does decide to settle down, he is rejected for a younger man. Capturing the changing attitudes toward gender and sex in the 1960's, ALFIE is an undeniable classic of 20th century cinema. Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Michael Caine), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Vivien Merchant), and Best Adapted Screenplay at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of Best English-Language Foreign Film at the **Golden Globes**. Winner of a Special Jury Prize and nominated for the Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival**. *"An amusing, moving and meaningful picture." - James Powers, **Hollywood Reporter*** |
