My favorite story in the book was Michael's first meeting with writer/director Christopher Nolan, who showed up at his house on a Sunday morning, unannounced, with a movie script. Michael had seen Nolan's movie "Memento," and assumed this new film would also be something low-budget. Michael Caine delivers another book this time with the intention of delivering some tips to wannabee actors/actresses and to people that are good doing something.

Vincent Canby, writing at the time of the film's release, felt that the caper film had been made before and much better as well. He complimented the film's technological sophistication, only criticising what he saw as an "emotionally retarded" plot. Canby also expressed concern that Coward's appearance in the film, although intended to be kind, "exploits him in vaguely unpleasant ways" by surrounding his character with images of the royal family, which had not knighted him at the time. A contemporary review in Time magazine felt that the film spent too much time focusing on the film's caper as opposed to building the characters; it also criticised the car chases as "dull and deafening".

BBC Sounds - Blowing the Bloody Doors Off by Michael Caine

MICHAEL CAINE: My view was this wasn’t going to be a sort of third autobiography, which it would have been. This was a journey between me and the reader. It was you and me. And we were going to do this together. And it came about because I told these people saying I want to be rich and famous. You know, but what I felt was that you’ve got to find out what you want to do and be the best possible person you can be at it. In my case, there are actors who are better than me, actors who are worse than me. My only competition was me. I had to be better every time. The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance. The Minis featured in the climactic chase were 1275cc Austin Mini Cooper S models. Production took place just as the manufacturer, the British Motor Corporation was preparing for the introduction of the Mk2 Mini, which was launched just before the film's public release. The Minis used were 1967 Mk1 models, fitted with future-dated 1969 G-suffix number plates to match the year of the film's intended release, despite that any 1969-registered Mini would be a Mk2, not a Mk1. BMC provided six new Minis (two of each colour) to the production at cost price. A further 25 were bought on the secondhand market via BMC's agent in Switzerland. Ten of these secondhand cars were Cooper S models and the remainder were standard 848cc models which were modified to various degrees to match the genuine 'star cars' as required for filming. All 16 Mini Coopers were destroyed or rendered unroadworthy in the course of filming, along with nine of the replica cars, leaving six 848cc replicas surviving intact. These were abandoned in the film crew's storage unit in Turin when filming concluded and their subsequent history is unknown. a b "Caine reveals Italian Job ending". BBC News. 29 November 2008.
