Michael Caine was on The Late Late Show last night, and his shared across-the-pond heritage with host Craig Ferguson made for two delicious segments, in which he didn’t even mention his work on The Dark Knight, as he did here. In addition to a very funny taped bit in which Ferguson reenacted the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally…, in costume, as Caine and Sean Connery (the latter showcasing his “O face,” for what it’s worth), Caine made his pitch for a gender-inverted Alfie remake (Alfina, with his cad recast as the strict father of an out-of-control daughter). He also shared some great memories about Connery, and waxed philosophical about the nine years of theater at the beginning of his career (more on this later this week, from a chat I recently had with Caine), saying he didn’t miss it since he regarded “theater as a woman who didn’t give a damn about me and movies as a mistress who I could do anything with.”
