The Great Escaper is an engaging exploration of love, loss, memory and trauma. It's also the final film for its star, Michael Caine, as he has recently announced his retirement.

Deputy Editor, Film Sir Michael Caine took method acting to a whole new level when, as revealed in a new interview with Mirror, he tried not to blink for eight years because of something he read in an acting book.

Caine, born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr., served in the British Army during the Korean War and has publicly shared some of his experiences fighting the Chinese in the hills of North and South Korea. He's been on stage and screen since leaving the army in the 1950s, and landed his first movie role in 1956.
