About this listen

It's been a long journey for Maurice Micklewhite - born with rickets in London's poverty-stricken Elephant & Castle - to the bright lights of Hollywood.

With a glittering career spanning more than five decades and starring roles which have earned him two Oscars, a knighthood, and an iconic place in the Hollywood pantheon, the man now known to us as Michael Caine looks back over it all.

Funny, warm, honest, Caine brings us his insider's view of Hollywood (where there's neither holly nor woods). He recalls the films, the legendary stars, the off-screen moments with a gift for story-telling only equalled by David Niven.

A very British star, The Elephant to Hollywood is the remarkable full circle of Michael Caine's life.

I never liked autobiographies but this got me to want to listen to more. This is a brilliant biography, especially read by Michael Cane himself. I never much liked autobiographies but this got me to want to listen to more.

I could listen to Michael talk all day. Taking you from his early years of harship and evacuation through to the spangles and glitz of Hollywood Michael's story is fascinating. His love for his family and friends is obvious and I cried when I heard the remarkable story he uncovered after his mother died. I loved the anecdotes and gossip about the stars of Hollywood and Michaels awe at meeting some of his screen idols. A great listen.

honest and heartwarming

"Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" became the phrase Michael was know for, but there is so much more to the man who came from London to become a Hollywood star and read by the man himself as only he can. An excellent listen and well worth it.

LOVE A GOOD BIO AND THIS IS DEFINATELY UP THERE
