Overall Thoughts: This is truly excellent, an undeniable classic and one of Caine’s finest performances. It’s a uniquely British gangster movie, that was rightly voted the greatest British film of all time in 2004 by Total Film Magazine, and its influence is still felt to this day in the work of filmmakers such as Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn and even Quentin Tarantino. A must watch for fans of Caine and for fans of cinema. NT: I would say GBH stands up to any British crime novel ever written. It’s a brilliant book.

It all landed at the right time and Michael Caine was one of the biggest British stars in the world, having just come off The Italian Job and before that Alfie and of course, Zulu. When you look at the British stars at the time, there was probably no one else who could have quite matched Michael Caine either.

BFI’s notes on their restoration state it is primarily sourced from the 35mm original negative, but portions had been replaced with sections of the duplicating negative, more than likely due to damage. For these portions BFI were able to source the yellow, cyan and magenta protection Promaster elements, made from the original negative. BFI also notes that the film’s “final look”—which I assume includes colour grading—was based on previous restorations/releases from 1971, 1999 and 2014. a b Branaghan, Sim.

British gangsters were “stupid, silly, or funny.” This was Michael Caine’s impression of crime films from the 1950s and ’60s, and it was a myth he felt keen to dispel. Having grown up among hardened criminals in London’s Elephant and Castle, he knew the reality was more sinister. The problem, Caine felt, was that most domestic gangster pictures were made by “bourgeois” filmmakers with “no idea” what it was like to live with such characters. But aside from its undoubted cinematographic merits, it remains a fascinating time capsule, capturing locations in Newcastle and the wider North East on the cusp of change as the 1970s dawned.
