Michael Caine explains why he broke his own rule of not kissing a male during this scene with Superman [Christopher Reeve] in 'Deathtrap' (1982, Lumet): "There were two routes out of the ghetto: sport or show business. Sport was out for me, so show business was the only option, although I had very little practical experience. When I was seven I appeared in the school pantomime with my fly open and got my first on-stage laugh which was very gratifying โ€” until I found out why they were laughing. I learned two things from this debut: always make the audience laugh with you and never at you; and always check your fly before you go on. These days it's an automatic reaction with me. My second attempt at show business was at Wilson's Grammar School where I went to the first play rehearsal without reading through my part and found out that I had to kiss a small boy who was playing my wife โ€”a necessity in an all-boys school and one of the reasons why I am against them. I couldn't do this love scene; apart from the fact that Jenkins was not a girl he was also very ugly โ€”even for a boy โ€”and he had bad breath. I retired from the play. After this I promised myself I would never do anything where I had to kiss a male. I only broke this vow once, when I did 'Deathtrap' (1982) many years later. And I had three good excuses: I was kissing Superman (the other part was played by Christopher Reeve); his breath only smelt of the bottle of brandy we had drunk between us before we did the scene; and I got paid a million bucks to do it. My sense of values, as you can see, did not alter much over the years." ('What's it All About?', Michael Caine, 1992)
