GET CARTER.

Double Academy Award Winner Michael Caine Has Rarely Looked Cooler As The Well Dressed Heavy, Attempting
To Uncover The Facts Behind The Death Of His Brother, In This Hard-Boiled Thriller. The Film Tracks Caine As He
Becomes Embroiled In The Sinister Underworld Of Crime And Pornography. John Osborne Stars As The Flesh
Peddlers' Ringleader, Whilst Sultry Bond Girl Britt Ekland Sizzles As Caine's London Girl. Get Carter's Powerful
Combination Of Violence And Corruption Signalled The End Of The Sugar-Coated '60s Ushering In A More Cynical
Style Of Film-Making.
