Mike Hodges

Died in 2022

Mike Hodges was born in 1932, trained in accountancy, did two years of national service in the navy on minesweepers, in contact with the poverty of the ports, then entered television reporting. He moved into cinema at the age of thirty-eight. One of his later films was re-edited without him, and he tried in vain to have his name removed from it. He also wrote for radio, published novels and died in 2022 on his farm in Dorset.
