Highbrow Lowbrow: Michael Caine Special

The latest episode of Highbrow Lowbrow is a Michael Caine Special. My podcast co-host Dan Slattery and I look at two lesser-known films from the legendary Cockney actors career. My pick is the multi-genre film The Wilby Conspiracy. It’s an adventure road movie and political thriller in which Caine and Sydney Poitier play two mismatched men on the run from the South African Police. Dan’s pick is the black comedy A Shock to the System, in which Caine plays an aggrieved businessman who decides to murder his way to the top after being passed over for promotion.
