Apparently, the genius behind Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange didn’t resonate with the film’s star, Malcolm McDowell. He said that thanks to playing Alex, he wasn’t able to land a good new role for at least ten years.
McDowell fully admits that he resented the film and everyone involved in it for those ten years and that rewatching it today still irritates him. Luckily, he’s been a highly successful actor after the brief drought.
