just starting to obsess over him and he's now in his 70s :'(

"And who do I see, but Little Malcom McDowell, chatting away to a bloke off the telly about your good narrator's ultraviolence. I was not best pleased, oh my brothers..."

[@creepshowcrate]

It's so cool to see an interview with Malcolm so close to the time of A Clockwork Orange. He still looks like Alexander DeLarge, the hair is exactly the same, and with his facial expressions, especially the smirk, you can see Little Alex come to life.

[@bruceleroyhoffman]

Maybe he nailed the role because he was really like the character himself.

Well said.

We're so lucky that he and Kubrick got together to make that film. A clockwork orange just has something about it. Amazing film.

It’s ridiculous, gratuitously violent and my least favorite Kubrick film but I know I’m in the minority.

A clockwork Orange is my favorite movie of all time. I sought in San Francisco when it first came out and I’ve been a Malcolm McDowell fan ever since. I watch the movie multiple times and it never gets old for me. Thank you Malcolm McDowell for providing such a great character in that movie.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Awesome interview.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

What a brilliant guy Malcolm is! Really great interview.

[@Storytime2023x]

I liked this actor when he played H.G. Wells in The Time Machine.

[@happyuk06]

In my opinion the Mick Travis trilogy McDowell did of 'If' (1968), 'O Lucky Man' (1973) and 'Britannia Hospital' (1982) are masterpieces.

[@Sergey-un3zz]

Resembles Mick Jagger of that time. Actually Kubrick was considering Jagger and the Stones to play in A Clockwork Orange.

For a long time I’ve been searching for actors interviews in this platform. This is perhaps the best one so far

[@71denmark]

The mature linguistic lover in me: "he is so well-spoken and he gives well thought of answers." The girl in me: "oh boy, the wat he pronounces A Clockwork Orange, swoooooonnnn, now why did I have to be a toddler during this era?"

[@dorothygeorgiou6759]

So so so talented actor and really facscinating personality

[@MrSnout5]

It's Boxing Day 2022 and I have just seen this video on YT. As a result, I've found my DVD copy of 'A Clockwork Orange' and will watch it later. McDowell's grin in this video reminded me of Alex, hence I have to see the movie again, for the first time in maybe 20 years.

[@jacktreble7356]

Interviewer: “it’s a violent picture” Malcolm: imma end this mans whole career

ULTRA VIOLENCE 😜… Malcolm was the PERFECT actor for this part.. Hands down too.. And it’s one of my favorite Halloween costume’s ever,,just say’n.. It’s a TIMELESS Movie..

[@davidgray2805]

Great interview.

[@angelikroldan]

Why rare.. It is absolutely brilliant

[@zmani4379]

McDowell had few films that used him fully as an actor - the Lindsay Anderson films, Clockwork, Time After Time - and Cat People taps his power but doesn't do enough with it - his description of Kubrick is fascinating - like someone internally at war with both chaos and order - like his own life is consumed by chaos, which he tries to overwhelm w a labyrinthian order - and his own film-making spontaneity leads to films that intentionally smother all spontaneity - framing everything in an intentionally trapped sense of order

[@MrHEC381991]

brilliant interview.

[@malloid]

Not seen this before. It's fantastic!

[@dazzamcgrazza3043]

bless you Malcolm McDowell, the brilliance of A clockwork Orange remains understated

[@bendyer7]

bit of a bitter Malcolm McDowell I think. I think Malcolm thought he and Kubrick were actual friends, but once the film was over and he realized Kubrick wasn't going to maintain any sort of relationship he was a bit gutted

[@93thelema777]

+bendyer7 Did you hear that in another interview with McDowell , or are you just psychic ?

[@Ben-cm9nc]

[@stevemcnary7963]

A Clockwork Orange is my 3rd favorite Kubrick movie behind #1 Dr. Strangelove & #2 The Shining. McDowell's performance rates up there with Jack Nicholson. Peter Sellers, George C.Scott & Sterling Hayden as my favorite in a Kubrick film.

I don't know why some people keep comparing young Malcolm McDowell with Evan Peters. Alfie Allen looks a lot more like him, even in his manerisms.

[@cestmoi2497]

Yeah I don't think he looks much like Evan Peters either. They have a similar hairstyle, that's it.
