Rating: 5.0
A film treasure to be enjoyed no matter what the years is ..
Just had a chance to see this Micheal Caine film and Im waitinf for the DVD to be released. The movie was a pleasure and a great way to spend a quiet afternoon. Micheal Caine plays a drunken, 'who cares' professor at one of the old stuffy English universities, totally stuck in a rut ..... The university, in an attempt to meld with the 'commoners' of the community has opened up some slots for older students to receive tutoring and a 'higher' education ...The professor is assigned a very very common hairdresser who has pre-conceived nothions as to how the upper class thinks and behaves. She is like a breath of fresh air and we see her change right before our eyes as she is introduced to the arts.Caine of course is completely taken by her and feels hesitant to accept her as a student for fear of 'jading' what is obviously a very intelligent 'free thinking' person that he has always wanted to be ..Great great film
