New Interview: Malcolm McDowell On 'Time After Time' & Marrying His Co-Star Mary Steenburgen

In 1979, Malcolm McDowell shed his bad-boy persona to star in the time-travel thriller Time After Time, and in a new interview with me, he explains why the project is one of his favorites and reveals that he was a bit surprised to be chosen to play the hero.

Mary Steenburgen has a strong resemblance to Kate Bush it's uncanny...........

[@naoidfpaiourej3299]

Always thought that too.

[@lehah4333]

That’s never occurred to me. Spot on.

I showed clips of Kate Bush to my mother, just after watching the film with her. She said they could've been twins. It is freaky.

I love this flick. Watched it dozens of times when it was on rotation on HBO in the early 80's.

[@melanietheresa5978]

Wish they would stream it on Tubi👍

[@marcye3649]

I love this movie so much. Watched it a bunch of times as a kid. So cool to know he met his wife there.

[@johannes914]

One of my favourite movie...

[@peterfranks6243]

Fascinated by this movie as a kid....back to the future is a love letter to it

[@nellitaleva9709]

Long live to Malcolm McDowell 👏👑❤🗽

[@Thunderstorm63]

Shame it didn't work, but they are both happy now.

[@kevins.butler3402]

I love Mr.McDowelll's performance as H.G.Wells in this romantic, sci-fi thriller..Where..He go forward into time, foils the villain and wins the girl.

0:08 Nov. 5 - same date as in Back To The Future.

[@peterfranks6243]

That's because Back to the future is tribute to this movie

[@robertstewart239]

I rented this movie on VHS in 1989 and bought the DVD in an old-fashioned snap case in 2001. I must have watched it about 20 times. Great movie.

[@Pashasmom1]

He'll always be little Alex to me.

[@nicholasjanke3476]

In Time After Time McDowell is given a chance to show more acting range, than he's normally allowed in his roles-usually cartoon villains.

[@nathanlopez5667]

This is also how Cyndi Lauper got the idea of the title for her song late night flipping through the channels and stumbled upon the movie Time After Time

[@TomTimeTraveler]

For me, the second best time travel movie of all time. (The Time Machine - 1960) is number one.

[@kevinluschak5241]

I thought this movie was pretty good I enjoyed it throughly.

[@fanboy2015]

TIME AFTER TIME and the the STAR TREK connection: McDowell, Warner and Meyer.

[@sportsmedia25]

And San Francisco!

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

It's only a love story to Malcolm, to me it's Jack the Ripper

[@tomflake6141]

I had to take a second look at your name. I thought it read David Warner.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

me too.

[@kevinbutler6572]

With all due respect to Mr.McDowell.."Singing In The Rain"was never filmed at Warner Bros. in Burbank,Cal...It was filmed at MGM in Culver City,Cal.

[@alexalex13131]

On the nose right.

[@veldinjoeable]

Of course the lamp post fell, that’s Karma for ruining the song Malcolm!

[@jasperedwards3341]

the ripper was not revealed becausae the monarchy are protecting

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

I love this movie and Malcolm McDowell did an outstanding job playing H. G. Wells, nobody can play that role but Mr. McDowell

[@superameric8]

Beautiful romantic movie.

[@chopin65]

What a giant in entertainment!
