'''''Alfie''''' is a 1966 British film directed by Lewis Gilbert, starring [[Michael Caine]]. It is an adaptation by Bill Naughton of his own [[Movie of the Book|novel and play of the same name]]. The film was released by [[Paramount]] Pictures.
A remake of the film sporting the same title was released in 2004, starring Jude Law as the title character. The movie was written, directed and produced by Charles Shyer and, again, released by Paramount Pictures.
Both incarnations of the film follow the life of the title character, Alfie Elkins, for a few years, documenting events that lead to his emotional growth, starting with the birth of his child. Alfie, however, is unable to get together with the mother of his son, who moves on herself. Left unable to see his son, he seeks out emotional aid, leading to a series of misadventures as things derail further and he attempts to recover his life.
