Story: |
Yeah, it's true that Alfie Elkins epitomises the swinging playboy
bachelor archetype. But, underneath the charm, the bravado, the swagger
there's another side - a man who, as Mick Jagger's lyrics for Alfie so
aptly describe, won't let the love in. Alfie is the provocative tale
of a philosophical womaniser who is forced to question his
seemingly carefree existence. Ultimately, his freewheeling lifestyle
begins to slowly unravel.
The original Alfie captured a blend of romp and reality that was
shocking and innovative in its time, and introduced a young Michael Caine
to the world. In this contemporary re-invention, Alfie is now an irresistible
Londoner who has taken up residence in Manhattan, where he hopes to make his
fortune - and make love to as many beautiful women as possible. The
sophistication of New York City is the perfect setting for Alfie, who knows
that when it comes to shagging birds, it's all about one thing - location,
location, location. Surrounded by an abundance of gorgeousness and diversity,
Alfie takes every opportunity to conquer all the women he can, whenever he can.
Alfie Elkins works as a limousine driver, chauffeuring the wealthy
through the streets of Manhattan, and occasionally making love to his lonely
female clients in the backseat. Though he has his ambitions, he wants only
enough to get by, his primary focus being the pleasures of life - without any
of the responsibilities.
