His last project, shortly before his death, was writing and narrating the biographical documentary <em><strong>All At Sea<\/strong><\/em>, in post-production.<br \/><br \/>In 2000, Andrew Sarris paid tribute to him in an article for the <em>Observer<\/em>, writing that \u201cDirector Mike Hodges has become one of the most under-appreciated and virtually unknown masters of the medium over the last 30 years.\u201d He added that \u201cMr. Hodges has been hailed by everyone from Martin Scorsese to Pauline Kael as a stylist of the first order.\u201d <br \/><br \/>Hodges adapted<em><strong> Get Carter<\/strong> <\/em>from a novel by Ted Lewis and directed the 1971 gangster flick with Michael Caine in the starring role. The film was remade with Sylvester Stallone in 2000. Hodges\u2019s second film, <em><strong>Pulp<\/strong><\/em>, starred Caine as a pulp-fiction writer commissioned to ghost-write the memoirs of a gangster. His 1999 movie, <em><strong>Croupier<\/strong><\/em>, starred Clive Owens that garnered the biggest receipts of any independent film in the United States that year.<br \/><br \/><em><strong>Flash Gordon<\/strong><\/em>, which has since attracted a cult following, also garnered much critical acclaim after its release in 1980. The <em>New Yorker<\/em>\u2019s Pauline Kael described the sci-fi fantasy film as having &#8220;some of the knowing, pleasurable giddiness of the fast-moving [James[ Bonds&#8230; The director, Mike Hodges, gets right into comic-strip sensibility and pacing.&#8221;<br \/>.<br \/>Michael Tommy Hodges was born in Bristol and served on a minesweeper in the British Navy, which opened his eyes to the unpleasant realities of class distinctions in the UK. He began his show-business career as a TelePrompTer operator for the BBC and soon began writing documentaries for ABC, Granada Television, and Thames Television.
