Mike,
ReplyDeleteA 1000 thanks for this utter delight! You are one lucky bastard...Mike Hodges AND George Armitage in the same episode! two of my all time favorites....I am in envy of the highest degree. You keep taking TPB to the apex! Congrats and keep up the terrific work.
Great show. Mike Hodges is delightful and now I have to see all his films. I went to Amazon to buy Get Carter but many of the 1 star reviewers commented that Warner dubbed some dialog with American accents. I think someone said it was at the beginning of the film with Carter's bosses. Others said that Warner replaced the dubbed version. When did you get your copy and from where? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMine had the dubbed voices but I don't know the source of it.
ReplyDeleteThe UK blu ray was originally released with the US friendly dub/dialogue ( which occurs in the pre credits scenes only ) but after customer complaints to Warner Bros the disc was reissued with the original dialogue intact, so if you buy the UK blu ray today from new you should receive the corrected version.
