Episode 172 - Michael Caine: A British Icon (Part 1 of 2)

Stinking Pause

Michael Caine, born as Maurice Micklewhite, has been acting for 70 years and been a star for nearly 60. This 2-part joint presentation of the ‘Film Gold’ and ‘The Stinking Pause’ podcasts celebrates the life and career of a true cinematic icon as he approaches his 90th birthday.

In this first part, Antony Rotunno and Scott Phipps look at Caine’s upbringing and give an overview of his career before beginning to count down their top 10 Caine performances (10-6) and also discussing Caine catchphrases and the many parodies of the great man. There are audio clips galore to complement the conversation, including Michael reading from the first of his many memoirs.

'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.
