THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating, Derby-topped teddy-boy hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others.
    Alex's journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrik's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel. Unforgettable images, startling musical counterpoints, the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals - Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. Hugely controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won the New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director honors and earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp.

• Julian, the man who played Frank's bodyguard in this movie was played by David Prowse, the man who is inside the Darth Vader suit in the Star Wars films.
• The song Singing In The Rain was used in the infamous rape scene because it was the only song that Macolm McDowell knew all the words to.
• Stanley Kubrick voluntarily pulled this movie out of the UK after it was heavily criticized for being too violent, Kubrick vowed he would not let it be released there until after he was dead. After his death it was re-released in the UK.

• This movie was nominated for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Film Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Awards, it did not win any of them.
• Anthony Burgess, the author of the book on which this film is based, never really liked his book and he sold the film rights to this movie to The Rolling Stones for five hundred dollars when he was short on cash. The Rolling Stones planned on making the movie with themselves playing the other members of Alex's gang. The rights were later sold by The Rolling Stones for a considerable amount more, Burgess was reportedly furious at the way the movie turned out and that he did not receive any money when the movie became successful.
