I have read somewhere that MC would not work with a certain actor who treated him like rubbish when he was struggling. He has stated that this bighead actor knows who he is, but MC would not say. I do have my suspicions, but this was stated by MC in some interview.
Do not worry Micheal Caine, YOU ARE A A-LISTER AND THAT PERSON IS A SOMETHING.

Richard Harris probably.

I heard it was George Baker during A Hill in Korea.

Memo to self: Never say anything in confidence to DB7 or Batman; it'll be public knowledge in 20 minutes.

Caine praised GB as one of the 'nicest people in the business' in his autobio so I doubt it was him

Thats the joke that killed the Music Hall !

I think you know from personal experience that is not true.

Besides, the George Baker thing wasn't told to me in confidence, I was told that by a bloke who worked on the film over a pint about 25 years ago.

That's interesting, an actress who worked on an ITC show with GB was less than complimentary about him.

I know nothing of an MC 'feud' with RH .... AFAIK RH had a reputation for being fairly easy going, he even forgave Brando after the MOTB mess and that must have took some doing.

You don't usually complain when I wag things at you!

DB7

Q: the interview: Sir Michael Caine | Independent on Sunday, The | Find Articles at BNET.com

Cheers DB7 ... I never knew that. Do you know when this incident occurred?

Re: GB ... the story I heard was that because MC was a sort of unoffical 'technical adviser' on AHIK, GB got the hump because MC was spending more time with the director than him, consequently he was a bit 'off' with MC throughout the filming.

DB7

Before Richard Harris passed away.

batman

Wag.

"Do you know why fattries are called fattries .... it's because they are big and people make things in them."

DB7

Think it goes back to the early 70s, but became more public in the 90s.

In the mid 90s.

And Harris delighted in bringing it up whenever he was subsequently interviewed (probably I suspect because he knew Caine was a bit embarrassed about what he said).

From The Times

"Caine let slip in an interview with this newspaper that “the British actors were all drunks — O’Toole, Harris, Burton”. This produced a less than polite riposte from Richard Harris: “[Caine] is an over-fat, flatulent, 62-year-old windbag, a master of inconsequence now masquerading as a guru, passing off his vast limitations as pious virtues.”
