Blowing the Bloody Doors Off

And Other Lessons in Life

De: Michael Caine

Narrado por: Michael Caine

Now in his 85th year, Hollywood legend Michael Caine shares wisdom and stories from his remarkable career in this "engrossing" memoir that "shines with positive energy" (Library Journal, starred review).

One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in over 100 films in his six-decade career, spanning classic movies like Alfie, Zulu, and The Italian Job (the inspiration for the book title) to playing Alfred opposite Christian Bale's Batman in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy. Caine has excelled in every kind of role - with a skill that's made it look easy.

Caine knows what success takes. He's made it to the pinnacle of his profession from humble origins. But as he says, "Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it."

Still working and more beloved than ever, Caine now shares everything he's learned - and "his fans will be rewarded, as will anyone seeking an enjoyable, inspirational read" (Library Journal).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Caine melds candid anecdotes and a master class on acting into an upbeat, unpretentious, and star-studded memoir.... Warm recollections and practical advice from an acclaimed star." (Kirkus Reviews)

Michael Caine this book was exactly what I needed!

Thank you for an awesome performance, great life lessons and sharing so genuinely!

Bravo sir! Bravo!

Lucky Man, Lucky Audience

Caine delivers an affable, entertaining retrospective of his life that is equal parts acting advice/lecture and memoir. You don't have to be a performer to enjoy it, either (this listener is not). His thoughts on aging and the loss of friends near the end is particularly wise and compelling. Though not a fan of his, by the end I had the urge to see several of his films - and probably will.

Bloody fabulous

Michael Caine has led an extraordinary life and I enjoyed every minute of this book.

Not what I expected

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and have a new appreciation of acting as a career choice. My plan is to rewatch a few of Mr Caine’s movies and I will probably enjoy them even more.

Michael Caine is a “Class Act”

Michael is real man. ..and great actor ....He is sincere ....had his ups in downs in life but had faith and appreciated his highs so could endure the Lows he had in life.

Cider house rules and so does Michael Caine

Wonderful. Great inspiration. Good inspiration for getting right back up when you fall down. if anybody earned his way he most certainly did in a profession that is difficult at best

very good

particularly enjoyed the narration wish he did more audible books. some good life lessons too.

Good Advice

He tells more of a personal story about his life in the beginning, but then he shares more and more about his career and the path that lead him to where he is now. He gets great advice about what'll help you as an actor, what to focus on, what some directors are like, etc. And just listening to Michael Caine, it's a fabulous time!

Wonderful

Truly blessed to listen to Michael Cane tell his own tales of life, love and frienda.

Michael Caine

I absolutely love his perspective on life, relationships and work ethics. incredible listen. highly recommend.
