Far and Away came a few years after Cruise had broken through with Risky Business and Top Gun. Michael Caine recently recalled when Tom Cruise was an up-and-coming actor and sought his wisdom, “I’ve known Tom for more than 40 years. We were doing a big event for Educating Rita (1983) and I turned around and there was this young actor, very polite, asking questions about how not to be just a flash in the pan. That was Tom, probably around the time of Risky Business.”
