Esqueçam Jude Law. Está de volta, o original ALFIE (1965) (ou como conquistar as mulheres), com o charmosíssimo Michael Caine. Lançado recentemente em DVD pela Paramount, o filme apesar de parecer datado, mantém ainda uma aura de frescor e um ritmo seguro nas mãos de Lewis Gilbert. Doce-amargo, ácido e sonoro com trilha de Sonny Rollins e a grande sacada, nas legendas finais o espectador é surpreendido com a canção-tema, criada por Burt Bacharach e Hal David. Vamos cantar então:
Whats it all about, alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
Whats it all about when you sort it out, alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we giveOr are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, alfie,
Then I guess its wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe theres a heaven above, alfie,
I know theres something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, alfie.
Without true love we just exist, alfie.
Until you find the love youve missed youre nothing, alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And youll find love any day, alfie, alfie.
