Showbiz news: Michael Caine to play great composer
The film is called Youth. Mr Caine is 82. Rachel Weisz plays his daughter. Here’s some blurb: Caine plays Fred Ballinger, whose annual spa stay begins as an emissary of Queen Elizabeth arrives to offer him a knighthood — if he would only conduct his most famous composition for Her Majesty. Her Majesty is renowned for doing musical deals in exchange for state honours. The make-or-break factor in the film will be who does the conducting for Michael Caine.
