  • All over YouTube, people just don't seem to love talking about the content of a video. It is always about McDowell's good looks (a fan thing), or who's the idiot and who's the smart one. Okay, I guess the latter is a good way of summarizing the interview in short words.

    Why not just talk about how religiously-closed the public circle is, while people in the film business who were lucky to be a part of Kubrick's films appreciate the compositions and they think that way in an open-minded sense.

  • He is the single greatest interviewee of all time, his responses are brilliantly clever

  • I love how Mcdowell just comes out with awesome "Fuck you" lines through out the interview.

  • Dude, maybe I was only 3 when this video was made, but GOD is he hot here. And yes, that interviewer IS a huge douchebag.

  • Why do interviewers always feel the need to argue with the actor? This guy an insult to Malcolm's intelligence...

  • @weirdfishing I always ask myself that same question.

  • Does the interviewer realize that CLOCKWORK ORANGE wasn't a documentary?

  • It's like he is talking to Alex

  • I really can't stand the fact that that twat popinjay of an interview gets the last word in this cut of the video, seriously fuck him in the face. So glad I wasn't around in these close-minded times

  • his natural hair color is dirty blonde! so is mine except it's getting darker now at my age 16

  • HE. IS. SO. HOT. if he was able to come back to present time in this condition, i would hunt that bamf down

  • That interviewer is a douchebag because it seems he can't take in any opinions but his own

  • He is the worst interviewer ever!

  • I think the interviewer thinks he is interviewing Alex and not Malcolm!Some people can't see that Clockwork is fiction!

  • @Buttons4me2010 there should by a 'term' for this twaddel behavior

  • LOL! That interviewer wants a cheeky slap and a wedgey! A Clockwork Orange is an unbelievable movie, much better than anything made nowadays. The Fucking spacktard!

  • Very charismatic, talented and handsome.

  • What a complete turd the interviewer is. Malcolm should have given him a malenky tolchock right in the yarbles. lol

  • a clock work orange will forever be embeded in my mind, movie was fucking awsome!

  • Malcolm, what a wonderful, intelligent and talented man.

  • When I was reading the book, I couldn't help but fall in love with Alex. Even though I thought rape was terrible, I loved him. And even though I think murder is also terrible, I loved him. I fell in love with his charm and I felt sympathy for him throughout the book, even though he was a criminal...Please tell me I'm not the only one.

  • @Thursday196 Not at all! Me too! Alex is a really charismatic villain, and when he commits atrocities, you think, "That's not nice!" and when he's a victim, your heart really goes out to him. It's a testament to how brilliant the book is, when a vile, despicable individual can make you feel for him.

  • @patience0791 That's so true, thank you!

  • He was very classy, I would have gone all Alex on the interviewer.

  • He takes that a-hole like a CHAMP!!!!

  • id rape alex delarge

  • he was actually a very good lookin young guy wasnt he??...i like him :)

  • I think Malcolm looks like Ed Macfarlane from Friendly Fires

  • This interviewer is the biggest doucher ever(even more so than John Edwards)...Malcolm is fookin' class all the way

  • This is the first time I've seen Malcolm with color in his hair!

  • robert webb?

  • lol here he looks nothing like he does now, but his voice sounds isn't that different

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my god, that guy interviewing is a dick! I like that, 'Is this a courtroom?' HAHA

  • interview is a cock

  • Something that kind of bothered me about the Clockwork Orange story (book and movie) was

    1.) Alex was raping..and I still found him sexy. Damnet Malcolm! :P

    2.) this is the serious reason: he was a criminal and I felt sorry for his character at the end. Alex was violent and took fancy to raping, but I fell in love with his charm. I wanted justice for this criminal. And that bothered me. And that made me think. That is why this story is dangerous.

  • Malcolm comes across as very intelligent, articulate and composed

  • He was so sexy ugh. Want.

  • YES! GWON MALCOLM! :D He's so cool! -and hot :P

  • That interviewer seems like the Piers Morgan of that generation...a massive cunt.

  • Jeez this interviewer sound slike he just wants to attack Malcolm, he's a great actor who played an iconic role in a cult classic!

  • I think A Clockwork Orange was the most Anti-Violent film I have ever seen.

  • Russell Harty was an anchorman/presenter - tried interviewing but the results were all like this. And he was such a massive bender that Heartbeat would have been too gritty & violent for him. What chance did he have with A.C.O

  • @christschinwon damn right..lol.:D. his interviews were always painful to watch

  • People should read the book before they bash the movie - it is a masterpiece for sure

  • He got owned the interviewer lol.

  • Russell was such a bad interviewer, and Burgess is a brilliant writer - so clever what he did, in fact I recommend reading the book about 4 times and in the not too distant future it becomes really intriguing, the 60s was already ultra violent. Interesting them talking about the media - look at us all now!

  • gosh Malcolm was so hot. love how he pwns the interviewer. what a nasty bastard. i would've socked the guy in the face...but Malcolm was too much of a gentleman.

  • I wonder if this interviewer knows what it actually means to be an actor.

  • What's wrong w/ that interviewer? IT WAS JUST A MOVIE. Yes, the media can be influential, but people do bad things on their own free will and by choice.

  • I love him!

  • Malcolm was really good looking back then! Unfortunately, I keep thinking of him as "that one guy from Tank Girl." Ugh. lol

  • The Clockwork Orange's violence isn't about the violence... If that makes sense, haha. It's all very symbolic and stylized, as Malcolm has said. The point the film is intending to get across is the brainwashing of the masses by the media.

  • This interviewer is a total prick.

  • I see the interviewer getting a lot of shit and i definitely think he deserves it. But THANK GOD some interviewers ask these types of questions to see how the actors respond, you can tell a lot about an actor and how good they really are by how they deal with this type of criticism.

    Malcom Mcdowell, probably not the best man to interview if he wanted to get a rise out of an actor, the interviewer just ended up looking like a prick Malcolms so cool

  • Wow, he's so mature and intelligent.....not to mention handsome.

    And I felt more sorry for Alex in the movie than his victims....

  • That one person who disliked this?

    That's the interviewer.

  • Wonderfull eyes

  • fuckin asshole interviewer tipical prick attitude to piss everyone's off

  • Goodness gracious, what a man. So very well spoken and mature, not to mention handsome. You can tell here he's frustrated with the host, but he doesn't lose his head over it. He remains levelheaded, and handles it with grace (Even a bit of humor at times!).

    The celebrities of this generation should look, listen, and take heed. This is how a gentleman behaves.

  • Wow, the host here was a royal dick lol. Trying to degrade Malcom here for a movie. It was an amazing movie with a whole slew of morals behind it. Here, we have a stuck up old man trying to say the movie was "too violent" and blaming it for what others will do. Everyone is held accountable for what they do. Can't go and blame a movie or video game just because you are too stupid to see the difference between reality and fiction.

  • he looks like jonathan rhys meyers looks now. very cute

  • Comment removed

  • fuckin prudes

  • I can see Alex's madness in his eyes

  • @konza900 lol, yeah, its there

  • Malcolm is brilliant! This interviewer is such an ass.

  • I was -20 years old, the older generation is so lucky! Old films are the best.

  • Where's the rest?

  • I just watched the movie again and fell in love with malcolm's eyes...

  • this film is to be treasured in cinematic history for as long as the universe lives

  • poor malcolm mcdowell he's already tired of being asked about a clockwork orange in 1973 and they still bring it up in every interveiw he's in

  • that interviewer obviously has no idea about the ideological, filmic theory behind a clockwork orange.

  • The interviewer is such a jerk!... a pain in the ass to poor Malcolm... he`s trying to be polite, but inside I bet he wanted to slap him... Malcolm♥ is the coolest BAMF Ever!

    A C W O is my all time favorite movie! and Alex deLarge is the Best

  • Comment removed

  • The interviewer didn't understand the message of the movie. If you pay attention you will see the message of the movie. Alex was a violent murderer and rapist but, in his eyes he wasn't doing anything wrong. He did these things because they amused him. But when his right to choose is taken away then its just completely pointless. He wasn't naturally peaceful. He was being FORCED to act the way they wanted him to act. That isn't peace. Peace is natural, not forceful.

  • BOOOOOM. Malcolm burned him :)

  • i really identify more with Alex than the victims

  • who the fuck dislikes this!!!!!?!?!?!

  • A Clockwork Orange is my all time favourite film and book and for exactly the same reason McDowell says - because of the morality of it. It's such a well-told story about man's right to choose and be given free will. On top of that, Burgess completely fucks with your head by presenting us with a protagonist who's a serial murderer and rapist.

  • Malcolm is amazing.

  • Where could I find the full interview? i

  • Poor Malcom Mcdowell.

    First this, then Caligula, and later he would appear in a Star Trek movie and get death threats from fans because he killed Kirk. Yeesh.

  • Lol the 70's version of Paul Bettany?

  • Malcolm is so charming. Ugh.

  • 2:16  -> So hilarious! Poor Russel. cute Malcolm

  • what is the name of the show / interviewer in this clip?

  • what does mcdowell say at 1.43, which has quite a response in the audience? cannot understand.

    does anybody has the rest of the interview? please post it!

  • @reinavikas "is this a courtroom all of a sudden?!"

  • Comment removed

  • @GEmorten thanks a lot

  • Is a clockwork orange big in america?

  • 1 person is jealous over his awesome accent.

  • The one who dislike must be the interviewer lol xD

  • interviewer = ABSOLUTE CUNT

  • the interviewer doesen't like clockwork orange -____-"

  • Malcolm is a clever guy.

  • the clockwork orange in a way is sort of like the book world war z in its not just about the violence but also about how everyone reacts to it and once you realize that about both storys you can get entertained by them even more

  • He was absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous when he was young like this...

  • @mysticalwind72 I totally agree! What a pity he didn't age so well. :(

  • I can understand why people were shocked by such movies back then. I mean, you went from heavily censored and politically correct movies in the early 60s, to movies filled with violence, swearing, blood and full frontal nudity in 1970. The change was rapid.

  • everyone is saying how violent clockwork orange is but I can't recall seeing more then a few drops of blood

  • @souleatr "everyone is saying how violent clockwork orange is but I can't recall seeing more then a few drops of blood"

    Sigh. Your statement is precisely the point of the film (and what it was foreboding). I saw two women raped, several people beaten, two murdered, police violence, an old man beaten, Alex experimented upon, Alex driven to suicide ... shall I continue?

    Like, holy shit.

  • He sounds like Eddie Izzard!

  • more ignorant interviews here /watch?v=7L2ukSJFgCM

  • The interviewer just don't get it >.< had he even read the book before this? I'm so infuriated!

  • @riskybubble Yeah i wished they could talk about something interesting about the movie instead of just saying he dont like it and be a complete bag a doucha... really bad interviewer

  • god i hate this host...malcolm punch him lol

  • Please take a look at our music video and tell us if we remind you of Malcolm McDowell.

  • Viddee well, me lil droogie. 

  • dern, he was a hottttt guy back then.

  • smart man malcom...

  • Comment removed

  • He mentions selling socks with holes in them to people. I didn't know that in the '70 they thought about issues like consumerism and all of the crap we see on TV. And of course and actor should not be held accountable for what people do with their performances.

  • @Notawesomeatall7 Oh since the birth of televison itself, and its abuse. Look up Marshall McLuhan! He was talking about this stuff before it was cool.

  • Can anyone explain the Frederick joke? Does it refer to someone?

  • @peridotbaby the interviewers birth name is frederick russell harty.

    prick isnt he?

  • @peridotbaby Haha, yes! In the end of the movie "A Clockwork Orange" when the prime minister comes to visit Alex in the hospital, Alex asks the prime minister (whose name is Frederick) if he may call him Frederick. lol.

  • "or may I call you Frederick".... brilliant

  • Malcolm is clearly irritated by Russel's opions and questions. All the way.

  • @robin14669 they are both irritaded with each other's opinions, but Russel is openly stuped and Malcolm uses sarcasm to put his ideas. That is because he is awesome!

  • I want to see the entire interview. he is a charming molodoy veck

  • What a bizarre interview. Your man is just bating him about a film he made 3 years beforehand and blaming him for inspiring violence.

    His answers are perfect and he is clearly an intelligent and well reasoned man. It's a shame that the interviewer can't get past violence to see an amazing story the film has. I'd say McDowell must be raging there, he was obviously on to promote his new film and the guy just won't let him

  • I love Mcdowell's voice

  • i love his voice

  • he's just an actor, doesn't mean that he's promoting violence, he takes on a character a work with it the best way he can. That interviewer is an a**hole.

  • Kind of reminds me of Kurt cobain with his message about the media

  • is he hot? i just think hes a good actor

  • Where can I see the rest of this video?

  • damn malcolm is soo charming

  • love him

  • I was at school with Malcolm, he was a damn good bloke.

  • Poor Malcom was getting shoved into a corner. 

  • He has such deep pyschopathic-like eyes.

  • @skinhead3000 "He has such deep pyschopathic-like eyes." More of what Kubrick warned us about. Psychopaths have no depth. Pathologically shallow.

  • Oh dear, its quite unreal how attractive Malcolm was...

  • Wow, were people that moronically fucking detached back then? If an adult takes a film, a piece of fiction, so seriously to the point of acting it out then that's his mentally defunct problem, 'nuff said. This interview is very telling of the high illiteracy rate back in those days.

  • malcolm is so hot

  • I think Malcolm dealt with that bastard of an interview in very classy and genial way. You could just tell that that interviewer didn't like him. He could still feel the burn from not being able to handle AClockworkO.

  • I wonder why the interviewer believs that Malcolm Mcdowell is directly responcible for the content of a clockwork orange.

    He has also overlooked the wit and art and class of a clockwork orange.

    Malcolm mcdowell was damn fine.

  • I'd laugh if the droogs from A Clockwork Orange come behind that interviewer and beat the shit out of him

  • the interviewer is just an annoying pussy

  • funny how people now praise Malcolm Mcdowell, yet in the early days of his career they scrutinize him on live TV!!!. I think his voice hasn't changed at all, he's a great actor and odviously hard work/synical bullshit from others grants stamina in old age. He's still acting in TV and still in Box Oiffice moives.

  • that interviewer deserves DEATH. HOW DARE YOU BOTHER MALCOLM LIKE THAT?

    Bloody asshole

  • why does he say Franklin...

  • he looks tired of talking about the clockwork orange !!!!

  • Thanks for this, it was fascinating, Malcom is one of my favourite actors!

    P.S. Love his jacket!

  • Malcolm was seriously getting pissed at the interviewer. He verbally kicked his ass. GO MALCOLM!

  • This interviewer seriously nips at my heels.

    I remember seeing him interview Bowie.. It was almost as though Bowie was from another planet, and Russell Harty was the voice of the BBC, stumbling blindly over his own ignorance.

    Shame. Malcolm is such an intelligent bloke; I would have liked to have seen someone interview him who really grasped the concept of works such as 'A Clockwork Orange', which are not advocating violence, but highlighting the dark truth of British society - mind control.

  • Malcom is the man is he on the spot

  • "I feel that i do my work as honest as i can, and if i do a job and acept that responsability i hope that i do it, the best way that i can"

  • the interviewer was fucking annoying..

  • I loved him but I'm sorry to be ageist but I dont like him now he's old :'( he was so good looking back then :/ <3

  • @stephaniejohnson0909 He's more than old - he's dead! (Oh, sorry! You were referring to Malcom?)

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooh snap..........

    I don't know if they are joking around or having an argument. I did like the Monty Python bit (if that's what it was)

  • the interviewers a dickhead. plain and simple.

  • He sounds like an intelligent man.

  • @TatooineBoy That's gotta be the best thing anyone's ever said about Russell Harty!

  • @mistofoles I was reffering to McDowell

  • yeah if anyone have the rest of this or perhaps another interview please post it! thanks

  • god he used to be sooo hott and now he play samuel loomis on the new rob zombie halloween movies

  • how can someone possibly blame him for any violence? that´s the stupidiest thing ive ever heard!

  • McDowell was amazing in Clockwork Orange. What a film!

    That interviewer is just another conservative know-it-all. He is really annoying.

  • MALCOLM IS THE MAN

  • why blame the actor?

  • this guy is an absolute wanker. he's missed the whole conception of the idea of a clockwork orange.

  • Its a good film. Fuck you Russell ¬¬

  • Also, I dont think A Clockwork Orange is that violent either. It takes a lot of thought to actually understand what the book/film is about. Its not a film for idiots.

  • He handled this interview so well, very good response. He is obviously very clever. Lovely eyes to boot!!!!!
