The Guvnor

The UV copy is only available in the UK and Ireland.The life of famed East End luminary Lenny McLean gets a touching, personal treatment in The Guv'nor. Famous (and infamous) as a bareknuckle boxer, bouncer, enforcer, and doorman from the late '60s, McLean's journey from unlicensed fighter to best-selling author and star of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is also the story of a working class man from Hoxton weathering the changing decades before his untimely death in 1998. Director Paul Van Carter follows his son Jamie as he explores his father's story, from troubled upbringing to stardom, on the way meeting a variety of East London characters to director Guy Richie. What emerges is a picture of a complex, troubled and driven family man.
