Time After Time, Blue Thunder, and A Clockwork Orange were my favorite MM films when I was younger. I don't think this amazing actor ever stopped working.
My son’s mum was Richard Benjamin’s Personal Assistant during the on location (Cincinnati and across the river in Kentucky) shoot for Milk Money late 1993. She was pregnant and I was on a break from Uni., so flew over from L.A. just to make her life easier. Having so much downtime gave me the opportunity to hang out with Malcolm during the couple weeks he was on set. As interesting a person as one would expect given his reputation and his stories are legendary. The only subject he refused to discuss was Caligula, which is understandable. I’ve met hundreds of “celebrities” over the decades and he was really the only one I was over the moon to get to know. Same movie, Ed Harris was terrific, also.
Malcolm McDowell single-handedly took the character of Alex off the page in a terrifyingly real way, and at the same time managed to make the villain wildly charming and worthy of our sympathy. The character he crafted is so strong that it sticks with you and you can’t help but follow his story whether you want to or not. THAT is powerful acting. Malcolm is nothing short of incredible and deserving of more awards/recognition for his work. His performance of Alex, for me, is so much better than Jack Nicholson’s in The Shining. I wish clockwork orange could’ve been the more popular film.
This is an interesting documentary of;Malcolm McDowell!Thank you for posting this film!It sort of;”made my day!”Documentarie’s are a breath of fresh air in a;”dull 🌎 world!’
I was just scanning around the net when I came across this. I now know I am a fanboy of MM. I could not stop watching this fascinating film about his life and times in film. He is a truly brilliant actor IMHO.
Malcolm McDowell is my all-time favorite actor! This was a very enjoyable series of interviews, insights and scene selections. Very well arranged. Thank you for this incredible video!! 🩵🩵🩵🩵
Max Beesley has such an an eerie, stunning resemblance with the younger, Clockwork-era Malcolm McDowell, it is impossible to miss! At first I thought he was a son of his :).
McDowell seems just as lovely and multifaceted as I expected. Well spent 1.2 hours! Malcolm shares some of his honest, deep thoughts and tricks from what his acting craftsmanship offers the building of a realistic movie character. He is e.g. explaining his use of minute expressions to move as an actor with a purpose, and not just just walk from here to there in the frame. Look and seem realistic.. He sure does! Look here to see an example 51:43 The feelings of the character in that clip is just all in his moves and details.
The Greatest Director of all time has to be British (so to speak), something that Americans can never understand or be, a true Genius and a remarkable man.....Hollywood owns to Britain everything and Cinema owns everything to Actors such as Malcom Mcdowell
I read the book;A clockwork Orange 🍊 before I saw the movie.(by;Anthony Burgess,of course!]in High School.I think,it was:a very strange film!But,I’d never resort to the:”weirdness of it!’This would be wrong to do…..of course!😮😮😮😮😮😮
The eternal war is in the mind the prize being the soul. Honestly being in tuned with with knowledge of self and the evils that surrounds us is key. Whether movie or real life a contract will always be needed. Whether it's for good or evil
And his choice of Jim Cagney as the pinnacle actor of all times isn't random: I'm pretty sure Cagney mirrors something back to McDowell when the latter watches that actor, i.e. ... himself! Same expressions, same wicked smile, etc. in a word: Cagney's alter ego reincarnation did act in Caligula! That being said, it took a while , but McDowell has apparently, finally matured into a tolerably pleasant human being. A woman, I trust, the current Ms. McDowell, has had a very major role in that mellowing down of rhe man, as it often happens. O lucky Malcolm indeed. What miracles does love operate if you let yourself open up to it, and McDowell is a heart-warming testimony to this.
"Evilenko" could have been such a great film (McDowells acting is superb and and managed to scare the pants off me during one or two scenes), if only the director had kept the story straight and not try and turn it into a big metaphor. That said, I'll recommend people watch "The Passage" (1979) - not a great film but McDowell at yet another peak (and while watching it, keep in mind that Quentin Tarantino has never filmed a scene that he hasn't stolen from another movies).
And I do not respect directors who base their career on stealing from other, lesser known movies. That Tarantinos hipster-fans don't know those films, is no fault of mine. So I stand by my opinion that Tarantino is a rip off (plus better known Hollywood actors and feet).
Interesting. Copying a relatively unknown movie from Asia and turning it into "Reservoir Dogs" is art to you? (Not dissing the actors, who did a great job, but the hack that directed it). Then whom did Kubrick rip-off with "Clockwork Orange", if it's all the same for you? But I'll grant him that: when people point out to which movies he has plagiarised, Tarantino will usually admit it himself - even though it seems cynical to me, since most of his hipster fans don't know the originals anyway. And the reason I'm not ranting about Kurosawa is, because he didn't just re-shoot a western and disguised it as some pseudo-critical statement or hommage.
In short: you don't understand the difference between a novella and a movie based on a novella? Okay. I completely agree that you shouldn't give an education on art in general to anybody (and if I'd want a two page essay on "Why I like Quentin Tarantino movies", I'll ask you for it - but don't count on it). Comparing Tarantino to Kurosawa - it boggles the mind. Might well throw in Uwe Boll and The Lion King in that rant of yours. As to "hum, hum, go meet some actual artists" - I did have a rather interesting conversation with Jan Harlan and Uwe Kier the other day, so your high-pitched advice comes a little too late. So just go and re-watch Kill Bill shit (or whatever bullshit the video-clerk from LA has produced since).
fenri218 >>> Thanks for the tip for the movie The Passage. But I disagree with what you say about Tarantino. Hey! He is one of the most creative directors of recent years. I get despaired when I read news of his decision to retire! Nunya Bidness >>> You're right in some of your analysis, but - hey! - no need of using a so "tarantinian" tone your comments. lol Just kidding anyway. I honestly think art should not be discussed on a level that simply reduces the artist's work to "I like" or "do not like" ratings.
Great interviews, really interesting, but does anyone else notice that there seem to be lots of shots where the subject is soft and the background is sharp? I guess Kubrick wasn't focus-puller here.
Ugly things aren't beautiful. Ugly things showed in a beautiful way is confusing. Confusing is thought provoking. Thought provoking is uncertain there for there isn't an answer. So, there's millions of them. Which isn't deep. Which makes it so.
Is this the 'O Lucky Malcolm' to be found as an extra in the O Lucky Man DVD set? The cafe scene (from If ....) with Noonan is something else. Encapsulates the young actor in his prime. As years go by I tend to watch the Anderson fiims, If .... & O Lucky Man, more than Clockwork. They seem to hold up better as dystopian warnings. But Young Alex is truly of a Shakespearean hue!
I have one last commentary to add here: I have no idea what MMc thinks about it, but as much as many of the highly valuable actors of his generation, he would definitely be a genuinely serious contender to his elevation to ... yes, British knighthood. Yes, as I'm contemplating this ... let's say left-field outcome of a truly outlandish career, he is "Sir material" just as much as Michael Caine or Roger Moore are (or was, for the latter). IMO. Just try to erase Caligula's Penthouse entries that were forced into that movie through the back door (this should summarize Guccione's subterfuge pretty well) and concentrate on the rest of MMc's career and you have a very unique, key figure of intetnational cinema whose contribution, just like Kubrick's, his career must be judged not by the sheer number of gems he left us, but by their value (use the latter analogy for its form, not its content: of course SK is more monumental for cinema's history!). McDowell has played in a long list of forgettable, minor films, and yet, there is no mote iconic symbol embodying the revolted man typical of the sexual/ideological/ecological revolutions of the late 60s and of the 70s in the UK than McDowell. I still remember our seminary showing us "If" around 1970 and I was totally amazed by it, and especially by that unknown face that drew all the attention. McDowell has what we call "le feu sacré" in French: that rarest of the qualities that only the most unique actors possess. It has a ring to it : Sir Malcolm!
He was a good actor but he didn't believe in God!He was bad from the beginning!vulgar man, ! Actor or no actor ,on judgemant day we have to give an account of the thing we done in this life.This man is going to be in a lot of trouble! Jesus said: if you want to live ,come with me!
Do you truly believe he of all people is so troublesome and immoral to receive judgement in death/hell? While monsters like Bill Clinton and Ghislane Maxwell are still roaming. Do you not think the current waiting list is a little bit full atleast?
Time After Time, Blue Thunder, and A Clockwork Orange were my favorite MM films when I was younger. I don't think this amazing actor ever stopped working.
Honestly such an engaging man, like I can listen to him all day, Malcolm McDowell is such an icon,
Stanley Kubrick is one of greatest director & a clockwork orange is his best made movie,,a classic art
My son’s mum was Richard Benjamin’s Personal Assistant during the on location (Cincinnati and across the river in Kentucky) shoot for Milk Money late 1993.

This guys cool.
My generation should know more about him.
I Genuinely Love This Man.
Righty Right Right

I wish clockwork orange could’ve been the more popular film.
Who say's it isn't? they are both very popular, clockwork maybe more so.
The Shining may have done better in it's time, but Clockwork has surely stood the test of time better than Shining
Enjoyed seeing this very humorous side of Malcolm McDowell.
O Lucky Man is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
No no no!,
Lucky Us!
Lucky those movies for to have Mr. Malcolm McDowell!!! 👋👋👋👋👋
This is an interesting documentary of;Malcolm McDowell!Thank you for posting this film!It sort of;”made my day!”Documentarie’s are a breath of fresh air in a;”dull 🌎 world!’
O Lucky Man is a criminally underrated film.
I was just scanning around the net when I came across this. I now know I am a fanboy of MM. I could not stop watching this fascinating film about his life and times in film. He is a truly brilliant actor IMHO.
Malcolm McDowell is SO underrated.
The characters who plays the droogs are not even talked about
I've always said that he can truly act in any genre of film but he will always be Alex to me.
This man should've played Picasso if he hasn't yet Masterpiece!
Genius idea!
Not to sound like a pretentious prat but clockwork is one of the best movies ever made.
Eric W you don't sound like one at all, I totally agree with you.
Malcolm McDowell is my all-time favorite actor! This was a very enjoyable series of interviews, insights and scene selections. Very well arranged. Thank you for this incredible video!! 🩵🩵🩵🩵
My Favorite actor 💓💓💓💓
Ana Cruz such a cool profile pic!!!
Mine too.
@@haf816r Thanks!! 😁😁😁
Malcolm Mcdowell was cute when he was young.
Um, what? He's gorgeous in his late 80's!! 😍
Max Beesley has such an an eerie, stunning resemblance with the younger, Clockwork-era Malcolm McDowell, it is impossible to miss! At first I thought he was a son of his :).
Great download! A definite insight into Malcolm McDowell, both on and off screen. Thanks.
Mr. McDowell, master of perception.
By the way, this is a terrific documentary. Thanks for posting!
A famous acting teacher once told me "you got to be crazy to become an actor,I believe him!
McDowell seems just as lovely and multifaceted as I expected. Well spent 1.2 hours!

Kubrick, one of the greatest film directors of all time, was an American.
Love Malcolm!

Malcolm Mc Dowell ... One of the best scientists ever
Malcolm McDowell The Master!!!🤘🤘
Gw nonton ini gara-gara IQ7 😂🤣

Wkwkwk
The Reluctant Vampire is a fun role of his. Fun!
true legend. his yorkshire accent has mellowed a bit though over time :p
19.48....The beginning of the greatest Movie ever Produced
Oh Lucky Bastard!
And repeat. Since 1968.
The eternal war is in the mind the prize being the soul. Honestly being in tuned with with knowledge of self and the evils that surrounds us is key. Whether movie or real life a contract will always be needed. Whether it's for good or evil
Vladimir Philippe Thanks Bob Marley
Listenio Listenio, I'm actually lost. What's your statement
I just found this. The Ocean Étude by Chopin plays at the beginning - we're off to a great start!
59:30 Saving this timestamp for later
Must see McDowell films, imo, ...IF, Clockwork O, O Lucky Man, Time After Time, Royal Flash, Look Back in Anger and Get Crazy.
Also Caligula, just because of how over the top he goes
Mary steenberg is such a Fox
And his choice of Jim Cagney as the pinnacle actor of all times isn't random: I'm pretty sure Cagney mirrors something back to McDowell when the latter watches that actor, i.e. ... himself! Same expressions, same wicked smile, etc. in a word: Cagney's alter ego reincarnation did act in Caligula!

A nice guy, this McDowell -)))
Guys what song is playing in the background while they’re talking - the soft piano

Usual suspects movie
Great interviews, really interesting, but does anyone else notice that there seem to be lots of shots where the subject is soft and the background is sharp? I guess Kubrick wasn't focus-puller here.
C.O. was so fuckin awesome, many times i have gone to sleep listening to it on my phone. just badass as hell!!!
Fucking brilliant!
Liked his work on f troop
HAR! You're wicked.
he has played a decent chappie in Aces High
Holy hell, Lilly is a bombshell
Does he smile?
I've cut back on the ol' Milako Plus
stanley kubrick, its almost like he wants us to think ugly things are beautiful
Ugly things aren't beautiful. Ugly things showed in a beautiful way is confusing. Confusing is thought provoking. Thought provoking is uncertain there for there isn't an answer. So, there's millions of them. Which isn't deep. Which makes it so.
okay yoda
Ugly is beautiful
mericana iguana HAHAHAHHA bruhh😂
Heath ledger was inspired by this movie
Mary Steenburgen looks like Kate Bush.
10000$ for 30 seconds??!!!! that too during the period of 1970?!!!!! stanley is indeed insane!!!!!!!
McDowell face... Turkish hero names is Ataturk.. Same faces.. is it correct?
malcolm best super artist
Please, someone tell me the name of the song at the beginning
The Ocean E'Tude by Chopin.
Can I ask? Who is the director of this movie?
I'm sooooo jealous of his family
The kids sound like squares particularly the daughter.
Jealous?
Oh dear...

It's in my copy of A Clockwork Orange.
@@AVB91 okay, thanks!
So Malcolm when can we expect a Jimmy Cagney biopic?
This is a great show--but in that entire opening montage, there wasn't a single shot of Malcolm as Reggie Wanker!
Get crazy
REGGIE WANKER FOREVER!
Do I "Love" Malcolm?" Yes I Do!!!

Helen Mirren...damn
jonesey251 youre darn tootin
RAJA
Strange looking man !
Light 106 year That’s a part of why He’s so good. If they had anyone else play Alex, it wouldn’t have worked.
Should've played the riddler.
I prefer 'O lucky Man!'
Yes! Clockwork & Lucky Man tie, for me. My favorite McDowell film is ".....IF".
Educate me as to "Evilenko" please.
It was a movie based off a notorious russian serial killer named andrei chilitilo.

How does this "white-hair" has always looking same age?

You are not the one to judge.
Typical horrible judgey christian comment. You should be ashamed of yourself you pitiful person.
