BLOWING THE BLOODY DOORS OFF And Other Lessons in Life

Imagine spending seven satisfying hours with English actor Michael Caine while he tells you all about his life. This audiobook offers just such an experience, and the time flies. Caine is warm, conversational, funny, serious, and wise, and listeners will enjoy every anecdote and word of advice. With a cast of celebrity friends, colleagues, and cherished family members, Caine recounts his childhood, WWII years, many part-time jobs, and long-in-coming "overnight" success. He offers humorous, candid opinions on his career, including his films, plays, and costars. While the audiobook seems like a master class in acting, Caine turns his best-learned lessons into excellent rules to adopt whatever one's career choice: Arrive on time and prepared; be ready for luck; and when you fail, learn from it. Enjoyable listening. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2018]
