Get Carter

Get Carter,

Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to investigate his brother’s death. Rarely has the criminal underworld been so realistically portrayed as in this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England, Get Carter remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films. Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative by the BFI, and approved by director Mike Hodges, Get Carter is back, and looking and sounding better than ever.Extras • Presented in High Definition • Introduction by Michael Caine (2022, 3 mins) • Audio commentary featuring Mike Hodges, Michael Caine and Wolfgang Suschitzky (2000) • Audio commentary featuring Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw (2022) • Isolated score by Roy Budd • Mike Hodges in Conversation (2022, 60 mins): the director discusses his long career • Klinger on Klinger (2022, 24 mins): Tony Klinger recalls and evaluates the career of his father, Michael Klinger • Don’t Trust Boys (2022, 22 mins): actor Petra Markham reflects upon her career on stage and screen, and recalls her role in Get Carter • The Sound of Roy Budd (2022, 17 mins): Jonny Trunk explores the varied career of Roy Budd, and revisits his iconic score for Get Carter • BBC Look North location report (1970, 5 mins) • Roy Budd Plays ‘Get Carter’ (1971, 4 mins) • Michael Caine’s message to premiere attendees (1971, 1 min) • The Ship Hotel – Tyne Main (1967, 33 mins): Philip Trevelyan’s evocative documentary • International trailer (1971) • Rerelease trailer (2022) • Script gallery • Audio description track (feature only)
