Michael Caine as unreliable narrator of his own ("Mickey King", geddit) pulp autobiography. A 90-minute in-joke with everyone involved allowed a long leash by director Mike Hodges. First hour very watchable, but it drags in the last third. Mickey Rooney hilarious (improvising?) his own death banquet. Caine as good - and dry - as ever. Set on Malta so look out for a Bogart and Lorre lookalike gag involving a maltese falcon. < less
