Programme Information

Alfie (Michael Caine) is the world's ultimate Ladykiller. He is wonderfully successful with women and he rarely gets emotionally attached with them.

Yet during the film we see him have a series of reversals in which his health is failing, he has a child who is adopted by another man, gets a friend's wife pregnant and then must acquire an abortion for her.

His final moment comes when he decides to settle down, and is then rejected for a younger man.
