The 1966 film ‘Alfie’, played by Michael Caine, follows a young man in pursuit of what he calls the “birds” with relentless and apparently inexhaustible energy. It went on to be nominated for five Oscars at the 39th Academy Awards and remains writer Bill Naughton’s best-known creation. Here, Magnum photographer David Hurn captures the star during filming on location in London. Hurn documented the glamour, and the grit, of Britain in an era of liberation, including its burgeoning film industry.
