Jack's Return Home

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Jack's Return Home is a 1970 novel by British writer Ted Lewis. It was adapted into the 1971 film Get Carter, starring Michael Caine as Jack Carter. The novel portrays a subsection of society living on the borderline between crime and respectability. The book was a major influence on the noir school of English crime fiction. The novel was republished in 1971 by Pan in paperback as a film tie-in under the title Carter, featuring stills from the movie Get Carter on the cover. The novel went out of print for many years and slipped into obscurity, until – in the 1990s – there was a resurgence in the popularity of the film, which in turn generated fresh interest in the book. The book was republished in paperback under the title Get Carter by Allison & Busby in 1993. In 2012, the novel was adapted as a radio serial by Nick Perry and broadcast under its original title on BBC Radio 4, starring Hugo Speer as Jack Carter. In 2016, the playwright Torben Betts adapted the novel for a critically acclaimed production by Newcastle's Northern Stage.
