Alfie (1966)

PG (US) | UK | English | 114 min

Directed by: Lewis Gilbert

For Alfie, the only real life is sex life. Only then, can he kid himself he is living. Sex is not used as the working-class boy's way to "the top". Executive status has no appeal for Alfie. Nor has class mobility. He is quite content to stay where he is, as long as the "birds" are in "beautiful condition", as he assures us they are in one of the candid, over-the-shoulder asides to the camera which this movie carries over from Tom Jones (1963). This movie shows how much of the "swinging 60s" quality of London life was a male creation, and through the dominance of the fashion photographers, a male prerogative.

Parent Guide

A man and a woman are making love in a misty car. Only their silhouettes are visible but it's obvious from the dialogue that they've just had sex. The woman accidently puts her legs on the horn whilst they kiss (again from the dialogue).

A couple discuss how she hasn't had her period yet. It later turns out that she's pregnant. The man advocates an abortion but the woman ends up having the baby and keeping it.

A man goes into a dry cleaner's, kisses a woman, goes with her behind a line of suits, and comes out wearing a different suit.

A man and a woman kiss in a darkened car. The man says in a voiceover that they were "having it off".

A man goes to the hospital to be examined. He takes off his shirt and talks suggestively to the female doctor about the way he spends different nights with different women.

In a hospital a nurse puts a curtain around a man, saying that she's going to give him an injection. Beneath the curtain we see her feet as she is obviously being seduced. Her feet leave the ground and moaning sounds come from behind the partition, disturbing a couple who are trying to have a conversation. She comes out looking flustered.

Later the same nurse says that she will get him "something" to make him feel better.

A man and a married woman are sitting by a river bank and start kissing, then fall onto the ground. The scene cuts to afterwards (she later becomes pregnant).

A man and a woman have just finished having sex and we see them lying back in bed in a heavily blurred shot that then clears. The man's wearing pyjama bottoms and the woman a nightie. They get out of bed and kiss.

A man visits a woman in her flat. They kiss passionately and then move over to the sofa. The man visits the bathroom and describes a previous time when they "splashed about" in her large bath. They say that they're going to bed but we don't see this.

A man visits a girl to "have a session" and ends up finding that she's cheating on him. We see a young man sitting shirtless in bed, smoking.

A couple kiss in the background of the final scene.

Let's talk about movies!
