Last Orders is a 1996 Booker Prize-winning novel
It was then adapted into a 2001 motion picture. The film was written and directed by Australian (Writer/Director/Producer) Fred Schepisi.
The story makes much use of flashbacks to tell the convoluted story of the relationships between a group of war veterans who live in the same corner of London, the backbone of the story being the journey of the group to Margate to scatter the ashes of Jack Dodds into the sea, in accord with his last wishes.
A film was written and directed by Australian (Writer/Director/Producer) Fred Schepisi in 2001, and stars Michael Caine as Jack Dodds, Bob Hoskins as Ray, Ray Winstone as Vince Dodds, David Hemmings as Lenny and Tom Courtenay as Vic Tucker.The film was much applauded by British critics and audiences; its reception was less kind in the United States where both the strong London accents and elements of the cultural context were not easily understood.[citation needed]
