Mike Hodges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike Hodges (born 29 July 1932 in Bristol, England) is an English screenwriter and film director who began his career as a current affairs producer for Granada Television's World in Action before moving into feature films.

Hodges often works within easily identifiable genres (crime thrillers, science fiction) but has enjoyed a variable career. His work has latterly undergone critical re-examination, partly due to good reviews and box-office performance of Croupier, and to the ongoing cult and critical success of his 1971 film Get Carter.
