It's fifty years since the U.K. premiere of Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess' grim, literary venture, A Clockwork Orange. That's because its fierce, visual commentary resonates even more today than then.
Indeed, one can learn lots from this "real horror show", and dear delinquent, Alex DeLarge, as portrayed by the maniacal Malcolm McDowell, sure did teach us the score, especially when his antics were droog-driven by Wendy Carlos' Beethoven-pumped chords.
Happy Anniversary to one of the most splendid and demented, A Clockwork Orange!
