This Michael Caine 2 Book Collection Set brings together two candid, funny and moving memoirs from one of Britain's best-loved screen legends. What's It All About? traces Caine's journey from wartime poverty in London's East End to Hollywood stardom, while Blowing the Bloody Doors Off distils a lifetime of lessons learned on set. Together these paperbacks offer honest storytelling and old-school showbusiness charm, ideal for film lovers and memoir readers alike.. About the Books. What's It All About? is Michael Caine's original autobiography, charting his rise from an evacuee during the Blitz and soldier in the Korean War to a jobbing actor understudying Peter O'Toole, and eventually a household name thanks to films such as Zulu and The Ipcress File. Caine writes with disarming honesty about hardship, family and ambition on his long climb to stardom.. Blowing the Bloody Doors Off, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2019, takes a different approach: rather than a straight chronological memoir, it is a warm, wise guide to life and career built from stories spanning films including Alfie, The Dark Knight trilogy, Hannah and Her Sisters and The Cider House Rules. Caine reflects on resilience, seizing opportunity, and doing good work in small roles. Read together, the two books give a rounded picture of Caine's life — the facts of his rise, and the reflections of a man looking back on a long career. Both are supplied as brand new paperback copies, ready for reading or gifting.. Two genuine Michael Caine memoirs in one brand new paperback set. Covers his full story: East End childhood through to Hollywood stardom. Packed with anecdotes about Zulu, The Italian Job, Alfie and The Dark Knight.
