This is my favourite gangster film. It shows the different mentality between the US & UK. As the US gave us the rich glamorous mafia of The Godfather, the UK produced a gritty, nasty, grimy collection of Bleakness.
Check the start of the film, the hit man that kills Jack is on the same train as Carter heading to Newcastle.
Michael Caine would never have been James Bond, he starred as the spy Harry Palmer in a series of films that were the complete opposite of the Bond franchise. His spy is working class and instead of jetting off to the carribean and drinking cocktails with glamour models, he shops for his own groceries and has to spend his days filling in paperwork following tedious surveillance operations.
If you want to see early Michael Caine then the two films that made him a star were "Zulu" -which builds a great atmosphere of terror and hopelessness as soldiers are waiting for a battle to start, and "Aflie" - which has some great fourth wall breaks and manages to combine light hearted sex comedy with a few uncomfortably dark and chilling scenes.
If you want a great old school British gangster film then "The Long Good Friday" stands head and shoulders above the rest of them.
If you watch the movie again the assassin is sharing the same train carriage with Carter in the opening credits. He’s reading The Sun newspaper. The London and Newcastle gangs working together to get rid of Carter who was threatening the relationship.
A bit of trivia. When Caine arrives at Newcastle and goes to the pub look out for the old man at the bar. When he lifts his pint to drink he has got five fingers and a thumb.
Thumbs up for noticing that. I bet he has his fingers in half a dozen pies.
THIS film is great
The remake was a travesty
Woolworths started in America. He was an American.
Well you learn something new everyday as they say.
Young Michael Caine films. You need to watch Zulu.
One slight plot fault is that Carter has a thick cockney accent indicating that he has spent most of his life in London, but still managed to have a detailed personal knowledge of the Newcastle underworld.
Not plot fault he was born in that city that's what he tell Eric and his family have always lived Thier that's why the knowledge
No, it’s not a plot fault. I was born in Newcastle in 1979, lived there all my life until I left to join the navy in 2004, and I have never had a Geordie accent in my whole life. I am a Geordie though, through and through, and I always will be. Just because I don’t sound like what other people expect a Geordie to sound like doesn’t change that in the least.
Gotta check out The Long Good Friday.
It's a great companion piece to this movie.
100%
I second that!
Re. "Woolworth's! Any American's watching, I don't know if that will mean anything to you?"
Just for interest, Woolworths was originally a division of the American F. W. Woolworth Company until its sale in the early 1980s
This is one of my fave British films and like you it appeals to my British sense of humour, including seeing Alf Roberts (Audreys husband in Corrie) thrown off a multi storey roof.
Alf Roberts being thrown of a high building,that was a seismic shift in the film.Probably 10 on the Richter scale.
The Trinity Square car park was pulled down in 2010 - there's a Tesco and cinema (which had the 4k version screened there) on that spot now.
Classic film and classic opening montage/music. Based on an excellent novel "Jack's return home"
The ultimate Nichael Caine movie is the 1966 'Alphie'. If you haven't seen that you're missing out.
its this and Alphie and Ipcress File and Zulu. those films made him. and Italian Job.
Did you spot Godfrey Quigley from Daleks invasion Earth 2150ad? Jack's niece threw her drink in his face/Guy in the wheelchair whomakes the bombs
Or George Sewell as the thug that wasn't Chase from the Seeds of Doom? Ratcliffe from Remembrance of the Daleks :)
5:37, busy playing Harry Palmer.
Look up The IPCRESS File.
That scene where Jack is forcing Eric to down that entire bottle of Scotch is brutal! That is real torture!
3:49 Woolworth was an American chain!
His earliest film where he was a main character is probably Zulu from 1964 ( to the bets of my knowledge ) .
Woolworths is a american company,I think it is still operating in the Us in a smaller capacity.
ALF ROBERTS!
Geraldine Moffat is mother too Sam and Dan Houser GTA
Apparently also voice acted in GTA V. So that’s the greatest British movie of all time and one of the greatest games of all time. She didn’t do much, but what she did was brilliant.
