..he was, by his very presence, a profound relief from the contrived silliness that was taking place around him. Caine - and others of his elevated ilk - have the innate capacity to transform a scene or a movie. Their standards of artistic expression do not depend on direction or script. They bring an quality of artistic expression that transcends outside influence.
