Hailed as one of the greatest crime films Britain has ever produced, Get Carter - starring Michael Caine - was Hodges' first feature film.
0:32Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Flash Gordon, has died.
Hailed as one of the greatest crime films Britain has ever produced, Get Carter was Hodges' first feature film, transformed from novel to cinema release in just eight months. In a 50th anniversary tribute last year, the British Film Institute said it had"a masterful, pacy blend of the sex, violence and style that simultaneously repels and attracts crime film connoisseurs, yet offers much more".
"I think that's part of the success of the film. It's like a souffle. We managed to put all the right ingredients in, and it sort of rose in some mysterious way."Born in Bristol on 29 July 1932, Hodges qualified as a chartered accountant before completing two years' national service in the Navy.
