Michael Caine - Vintage Photograph

7.8.86 / DE, BBC-2, 87/0536, Acting: New Series - Film Acting Michael Caine. Michael Caine, Simon Callow and Jonathan Miller swap stage boards and clapper-boards for blackboards when they turn teachers for 'Acting', a new three-part series starting on BBC-2. Friday, August 28th. The stage and screen stars will each hold a workshop in which they pass on their expertise - Caine talks on film acting, Callow on acting in Restoration Comedy and renowned director Miller on acting in opera. The series was inspired by actress Maria Aitken's experiences while teaching aspiring actors. She had the idea of persuading top names to take part in masterclasses for small groups of established actors who have no special knowledge of particular mediums. "It occurred to me that there is a wealth of knowledge which, if trapped, would be of great benefit and interest to both actor and audience," says Maria, who co-produced the series. The curtain-raiser comes from Caine, who, with the help of excerpts from his films "Educating Rita", "Alfie" and "Deathtrap," sets out to show the great difference between acting on stage and on film. "The greatest advice I can give someone who wants to act in movies is to listen and react..... the camera is like a belt or net behind you so you can relax; you don't have to push it like in the theatre - just relax and let it come out," he says.

EACH PRINT IS UNIQUE AND HISTORIC

SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos. Since the photos are old press photographs they may have scratches, lines, or other wears of time, which just underlines the authenticity and age of the photos.

Few were preserved and are nowadays carefully stored in our archives.
