The latest episode of Highbrow Lowbrow is a Michael Caine Special. My podcast co-host Dan Slattery and I look at two lesser-known films from the legendary Cockney actors career. My pick is the multi-genre film The Wilby Conspiracy . It’s an adventure road movie and political thriller in which Caine and Sydney Poitier play two mismatched men on the run from the South African Police. Dan’s pick is the black comedy A Shock to the System , in which Caine plays an aggrieved businessman who decides to murder his way to the top after being passed over for promotion.
