Scenes That I Love: The Opening Of A Clockwork Orange

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to actor Malcolm McDowell.

Today’s scene that I love comes from 1971’s A Clockwork Orange, featuring McDowell as Alex.  This opening scene is famous for its music and its production design but what truly makes it work is the intensity of McDowell’s stare and the seductive menace of his half-smile.

  2. Unfortunately, the boy I was dating at the time thought Alex a Hero and insisted we see it together. Something I regret to this day.
