Malcolm McDowell Celebrates the 44th Anniversary of A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange remains one of the most influential of all subversive science-fiction films ever made. On this date in 1972, A Clockwork Orange was given a wide release across theaters, and audiences were stunned at Stanley Kubrick's brutal cinema masterpiece.

Star Malcolm McDowell reminisces about the film in the entertainment section of the New York Daily News. Some points McDowell makes in the article include:

• The drugs and gang-filled dystopian future of the movie seems is becoming a reality.
• Novelist Anthony Burgess deserves far more credit as A Clockwork Orange's driving creative genius than his is given.
• McDowell is happy to move onto more comedic roles.

More comedic roles? Yes, McDowell is being featured in an Amazon-produced comedy series but his next movie slated for release is the ultra-violent 31, a horror film directed by Rob Zombie.
