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 have always loved the work of Michael Caine, now i know why - his attitude to his marriage and his work is just so practical and grateful and honoring...its hard to believe he is already 87 and its 10 years since he wrote this biography...live long Sir Michael

With a glass of wine in hand and in a relaxing chair, listening to Michael was like I was just having a chat about his experiences and learning so many things along the way. Love Michael Caine.

Fabulous Storytelling

Michael Caine's autobiography The Elephant To Hollywood is a pleasure to listen to from start to finish. He is a very engaging narrator. He provides a comprehensive overview of both is personal and professional life. The recollections, stories and memories are equally fascinating, interesting and sometimes quite profound and funny. Michael has a very dry sense of humor, intelligence and wit about his vocal telling of his life's tales. Well worth the listening and financial investment.

Well worth the listen.
