Tamer and a lot more dated today than when it first came out, but "Alfie" holds up thanks to its sly humor and its titular character's believable attitude towards casual sexuality.

One of Michael Caine's most famous roles is another of those zeitgeist movies that sums up perfectly the time in which they were made; in this case, London's swinging sixties.

It treats the womanizing Alfie with comedy but it adds sadness to it in a fashion that works out pretty well. It involves his interaction with several women which the interactions all of some interest to them although all are not completely sorted out or fleshed out as well as it should be. I have no problems with the film and it is interesting that it works with both elements of the film so well, just a few times it went to the next "bird" a bit too quickly, or did not flesh out another well enough.
