Many of these have either been extraordinarily good or Caine has been extraordinarily good in them: The Man Who Would Be King (1975), in which he starred alongside his old pal Sean Connery, for example, or Little Voice (1998), or The Quiet American (2002). But many others have been spectacularly awful, and for me it is Sir Michael’s reaction to these jobs – Blame it on Rio, The Swarm, Ashanti and all the rest – that truly elevate him to the status of national treasure.
