About this listen

Mr. Caine gives you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rob him blind! The man who's hypnotized the camera lenses for a quarter of a century reveals the most closely guarded secrets on script preparation, working with the director, forming a character, voice, sound, and movement. Pearl by pearl he lays out the Caine wisdom on everything from set politics to set decorum, the film bureaucracy and more!

Remarkable material.... A treasure.... I'm not going to be looking at performances quite the same way.... Fascinating! (Gene Siskel)

But getting practical tips from one of the greats made it a worthwhile listen.

Invaluable advice for actors.
