Superb!
Acting In Film is humorous, candid and informative not only to the aspiring actor, but to the film viewer as well.

Some important messages addressed are: Preparation, spontaneity, and behavior on and off the set.

Actin in Film gives valuable tools to any actor including those interested in Community Theater. A must have book for all movie buffs!

A fantastic little book
Ever wondered what Michael Caine gets up to when he's locked in his trailer for hours before going on set...?

A charming, witty, and surprisingly informative book.

Great insights by a master
Superb. A practical and honest insight in to the craft (rather than art) of film acting. Caine dispenses his wisdom liberally and one quickly begins to appreciate that professionalism and hard work are the key to any career. Caine has those qualities in spades - it is in fact his dedication to them that has also made him a great artist.
