I don't know much about Mr.Caine other than to say I quite admire many of his film roles.
His role as 'Peachy Carnahan' from 'The man who would be King' definitely stands out as one of my top ten films of all time.
{Papillion is way up there too....}
Actually, I think I could come up with many more deserving candidates for "prat of the week" without trying too hard.
