![]() ![]() So life goes on until Charlize Theron turns up for an abortion with her fiancé Paul Rudd, a pilot, and when they leave, Maguire goes with them, saying he wants to see more of the world than just the orphanage. Maguire learns quickly but refuses on moral grounds to assist in the abortions. Caine teaches him everything he knows about medicine, hoping that despite having no formal medical training - the young man might succeed him when he retires. The star of the piece is Tobey Maguire, who arrived at the orphanage as an unwanted baby, was twice adopted and returned to become the director’s protégé. The abortion aspect split audiences in America but Caine justifies his actions by saying that he is saving women from the dubious activities of backstreet butchers. There he takes in unwanted babies and performs abortions on demand. He plays a doctor who is also the director of the St Cloud’s orphanage in Maine during the Second World War. A pro-abortion movie adapted by John Irving from his own novel, Michael Caine, gives one of his finest performances and won his second Oscar for best supporting actor. ![]()
