Editing Get Carter (section)

=== Casting ===
There was pressure from MGM to have more big-name American stars in the film, which was successfully resisted by Hodges. As well as Telly Savalas, names posited by Klinger and studio executives were [[Joan Collins]], and someone Hodges described as "the Canadian lead actress in TV's ''[[Peyton Place (TV series)|Peyton Place]]''", which is likely a reference to [[Barbara Parkins]].<ref name="Klinger" /> The production also utilised a large number of extras, most of whom were locals who just happened to be on scene when filming was happening. Others were sourced from local casting company Beverley Artistes, which sent everyone registered with it for auditions, one of these being Denea Wilde, who was cast as the pub singer. Several of the company's actors were also in background shots in the film including the casino, streets, bars and the police raid scene.<ref name="BBC-carter-march 2011">{{cite news |date=11 March 2011 |title=Get Carter celebrates its 40th anniversary |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/tyne/hi/front_page/newsid_9421000/9421191.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121031003242/http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/tyne/hi/front_page/newsid_9421000/9421191.stm |archive-date=31 October 2012 |access-date=20 February 2012 |publisher=BBC News |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
