'''John Osborne''' (1929-1994) was a [[British]] playwright and actor whose 1958 play [[Look Back in Anger]] marked a transformation in British theatre, inaugurating a concern with everyday life (so-called 'kitchen sink dramas'); Osborne himself was categorised by the media as the leader of a somewhat artificial movement known as the '[[Angry Young Men]]': working class and lower middle class writers and artists, educated at [[grammar school]]s and [[redbrick universities]], supposedly railing against the upper-class, public school and [[Oxbridge]] domination of British cultural life.

In 1971 he played gang boss and pornographer Cyril Kinnear in the film [[Get Carter]].

Get Carter

2008-04-20T11:00:37Z

AllySloper:

'''Get Carter''' (1971) is a seminal [[British]] gangster film. Based on the novel ''Jack's Return Home'' (1970) by Ted Lewis, and directed by Mike Hodges, it tells the story of London gangster Jack Carter (played by [[Michael Caine]]) who returns to his home town to investigate and avenge the death of his brother, Frank. Initially ill-received, it has since been recognised as a classic of its genre, for its [[film noire]] style, the unrelieved bleakness and amorality of the story, and the iconic use of location shooting, in the industrial surroundings of [[Tyneside]] in north-east [[England]]. Apart from Caine, other major [[actor]]s cast in the film included Ian Hendry, Britt Eckland, Brian Mosley (whose character Cliff Brumby was thrown to his death by Carter from the top of a multi-storey car park), and the playwright/actor [[John Osborne]].

''Get Carter'' has been remade twice: in 1972 as a '[[Blaxploitation]]' version entitled ''Hit Man'', and in 2000, again entitled ''Get Carter'', in an American setting and starring [[Sylvester Stallone]] as Carter and Michael Caine as Cliff Brumby.
