You're a big man, but you're out of shape...

It's the fortieth anniversary of Get Carter this year. Originally hitting our screens in 1971 it's one of Michael Caine's finest hours. Extremely dark, cynical and tackling a bunch of subjects that were fairly shocking for it's time, it has come to be regarded as a classic.

I can't imagine these days you would be taken very seriously if you pitched the idea of a bunch of Geordie gangsters being terrified by a cockney who wears a coat, ahh simpler times. Still if you've seen the remake starring Sylvester Stallone you will already be able to believe that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of.

If you fancy celebrating it's fortieth anniversary and grabbing a little slice of retro cool for yourself check out these new shirts on the House Of Spoons. Taking one of the movies most memorable lines as its inspiration, here's hoping this is another classic that will be with you for forty years...

If you have never seen the movie then do yourself a favour and get along to Amazon and order yourself a copy of the movie now!
