Starring Michael Caine, Shelley Winters, Denholm Elliott, Jane Asher, Julia Foster, and Millicent Martin. Directed by Lewis Gilbert. Alfie is a charming Cockney rogue who cannot get his fill of women. He uses them without shame or malice, jumping from one promiscuous female's bed to another without much thought or feeling. Of course, Alfie's not as carefree as he would have everyone think: he treats his pregnant, common-law wife quite shabbily and has an affair with a married woman that leaves her pregnant. In the end, Alfie never finds lasting meaning or pleasure but remains an unrepentant, low-class Don Juan.
