Get Carter - one of the best British films ever made, up there with Long Good Friday. Probably the best performace Michael Caine ever gave.

Has an absolutely stunning ending....

390 minutes = 132 hours???
3900 minutes=65 hours 7920 minutes=132 hours
So how long was it?

Mark, I was actually going to use an analogy featuring The Long Good Friday and Little Britain, but in the end even I couldn't be that hamfisted.

It was 390 minutes, Martin. The 132 hours bit was a "joke".

"Movie makers thirty years ago seemed capable of telling a story without resorting to histrionics."

I couldn't agree more. I'm always surprised at how dour cinema was thirty years ago, compared with the present product.

I can't work out if that's a sledge, or not.

It's not.

Check.

If you want another great example of a suspenser not getting carried away with "histrionics" try The Parallax View.

martin - let that be a warning about Tony's measuring ability. Don't ever ask him how long his member is. OK?

Humourous hyperbole. I see. I really only do pedantry and maths.
