Editing Michael Caine (section)

===Memoirs===
Caine has written four memoirs across several decades. He published the first, ''What's It All About?'', in 1992. Its title is a quote from the title song from his 1966 hit film ''[[Alfie (1966 film)|Alfie]]''. The book was reviewed negatively in ''[[The New York Times]]'', which called it an "archetypal show-business memoir" that was engaging but tainted by the book's "name-dropping, the sexual boasting, the sensitivity to slights".<ref name="lehmann">{{cite news |last1=Lehmann-Haupt |first1=Christopher |title=Michael Caine, a Working-Class Artist, Tells His Own Story |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/14/books/books-of-the-times-michael-caine-a-working-class-artist-tells-his-own-story.html |access-date=18 April 2021 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=24 December 1992}}</ref> His second memoir, ''The Elephant to Hollywood'', was published in 2010.
