The Mark of Caine

After a few failed attempts to get this series back up and running this spring, real world commitments mean we can't give Caine and his movies our undivided attention. Thanks for all the support and msgs, we may try and scale this summit again in future,for now it's over and out.

@Irishfilmsnob @Xtrareelpod No argument on #1. Deathtrap coming up soon for us in our next season and dressed to kill. Sleuth, I would have it there, but higher than #6. Funeral in Berlin also a very underrated film.

Not a bad list what would you chop out and put in? Deathtrap is a nice surprise to see btw. @MarkofCaine2 @Xtrareelpod top10films.co.uk/19760-top-10-m…

But a personal favourite...Happy facking birthday, mush!

And a selection of glorious Caine cards...

Well break out the red wine and jellied eels! It's Mick Caine's birthday!

Further proof that mid-40s Ryan Reynolds is the 21st century equivalent of Mick Caine. Seems a charming guy with a couple of career defining movies in a filmography so far padded out by some incredibly forgettable stuff. thetimes.co.uk/article/93632b…

Continuing our walk back through the biggest hits from Series 1, who knew? Funeral In Berlin! Here's Caine at the Berlin Wall channeling his inner Joy Division, who he had never heard of. Because they didn't exist at the time. Episode out wherever you pod. shows.acast.com/the-mark-of-ca…

@MistressMalevo2 Real life has intruded on our Caine bubble for the time being. We'll be back, of that there is no doubt.

@MarkofCaine2 Taking a long time to get Dressed To Kill. Hope you don't skimp on the lipstick and frocks.

Continuing our trip back through the most popular episodes of Season One we recall this wonderfully evocative piece of work, presented by Michael Caine, on behalf of the Newcastle Tourist Board. Get Carter, available where'er you pod. shows.acast.com/the-mark-of-ca…

@Danozino We'll be back. Never fear.

@MarkofCaine2 Looks like ye have failed to get "beyond the Poseidon adventure" 😉

John is a writer with a good eye for detail, and terrific patience when it comes to Caine. We possess none of these qualities. Our take on the Black Windmill. Available anywhere you pod. embed.acast.com/60e2ca2e1436f0…

More classic Caine silliness. An early episode, still among our most popular. It's Caine becoming Caine in The Ipcress File. Available anywhere you pod. Great movie. We teased out a lot of stuff here.... shows.acast.com/the-mark-of-ca… via @acast

It feels at least 74 years old now.

Continuing our shameless reposting of our most popular shows so far while we recuperate from 2 decades of Caine movies, we'll recall the Ipcress File tmrw. It's all birds, spying, forms and cooking and every scene screaming CAINE IS NOT GAY! HIGHLY UNGAY! UN! GAY!

Far be it from me to discourage art of any kind, but have these people ever actually seen Michael Caine?

Watching Khartoum on some vintage channel, and we've heard the line 'Gordon must come out' so often, you're willing Chuck Heston to express to his officers deep manlove for his servant, and to a lesser extent, blacked-up Larry Olivier.

Classic Caine! Zulu! Our most popular episode to date, you can hear it in our voices. We have no idea what we're getting into....'Caine Movies! Thousands of 'em!!' Listen in all the usual spots, rate, subscribe. I love this figure. It's Redford Caine. shows.acast.com/the-mark-of-ca…

@Danozino Meán sos. We'll keep things ticking over in the meantime.

@MarkofCaine2 How short will this sos be? Sos mór or sos beag?

Due to real world demands - people threatening divorce/the sack/children asking where's daddy - we're taking a short break. Season 2 will kick in with 80s Caine, in the meantime we'll revisit our most popular episodes so far. Some of your choices will shock you!* *They won't.

@rebeldispatch50 We're a long way from done, Tom. We'll be back in good time, and we'll keep the fires burning here in the meantime.

@MarkofCaine2 Ye crossed the rubicon and unlike Ceaser it wasn't a quick march on Rome but a slog through the quicksand of long forgotten Caine oddities rarities and unspeakable horrors His golden years and rehabilitation to come

First up tmrw in our walk back through the best of Caine, our most popular episode to date....Zulu! That was the peak. We should really have stopped then.
