He complimented the film's technological sophistication, only criticising what he saw as an "emotionally retarded" plot. Canby also expressed concern that Coward's appearance in the film, although intended to be kind, "exploits him in vaguely unpleasant ways" by surrounding his character with images of the royal family, which had not knighted him at the time. A contemporary review in Time magazine felt that the film spent too much time focusing on the film's caper as opposed to building the characters; it also criticised the car chases as "dull and deafening".

Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And Other Lessons in Life

This book, like the author himself is charming and considered. It is essentially Michael Caine's advice or lessons in life, based on his own career as an actor. While this would align perfectly if the reader is an actor (or aspiring actor), it is not to say it is not comparable for life in general. A British icon, hugely respected, knighted in 1992, with a load of nominations and awards, it is all the more impressive given he was destined to follow his father into fish mongering after his early life in Elephant and Castle in Southwark. He is a dedicated family man - buying his mother and brother houses with some of his earliest windfall earnings. You are, Caine reminds us, always performing - yet he can say this as a basic rule without the reader ever doubting his sincerity and authenticity a b "Caine reveals Italian Job ending".
