Not surprisingly this was Price's last feature film. He should have stuck to the music.
Mr. Price, the rock musician who worked so memorably with Eric Burdon and "The Animals" (as well as on his own), hasn't the "fourth wall" cheekiness of Caine, but he and director Ken Hughes makes this "Alfie Darling" sexier than the other two, with a greater emphasis on female flesh. A version for television cut out all the naughty bits, so look around. Also missing is an ending which, while a real downer, makes the trimmed version inconsequential; originally, it felt like a castration. Take your pick.
***** Alfie Darling (1975) Ken Hughes ~ Alan Price, Jill Townsend, Paul Copley, Joan Collins
I'm not condemning this film for being sexist, its more titillating, and typical of the type of films they were showing as the second feature at Drive-Ins at the time. Its also great to see Joan Collins, a few years before she did Dynasty, showing a lot more than expected, actually totally topless. She plays a sort of well to do lady who likes to be wined and dined with all the charms and graces, but is also very kinky in the sack. Her scenes are quite camp actually, and worth seeing this film for, if you liked her in The Stud and The Bitch. Joan Collins is a sweetheart in real life, whom I met once at a book signing, and is a living treasure to this day. Robert. Australia.

- TriviaAlan Price's performance (and the film) received a highly-negative response from critics when this film was first released in the UK, which probably explains why it's his only lead performance in a full-length feature film.
- GoofsBeing only a member of the public, Alfie would never have been allowed on an UK plane-crash site in the final scene, as it was a barred area under strict security and police investigation.
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to replace one use of the word 'cunt' with 'fool'. All subsequent releases have featured the cut version.
