Famous Unscripted Lines That Will Make You Look At These Classic Movie Scenes In An Entirely Different Way
“I’m Singing in the Rain” Song – Malcolm McDowell As Alex in A Clockwork Orange
There are plenty of shocking moments in the 1971 masterpiece “A Clockwork Orange,” but the home-invasion scene in which ‘Alex’ (Malcolm McDowell) and his pals assault a woman while singing “I’m Singing in the Rain” has got to be one of the most impactful. Mixing brutal violence with a nostalgic American classic sure sounds like Stanley Kubrick’s doing, but did you know it was all McDowell’s idea?
McDowell was so into the role of ‘Alex’ that he ended up coming up with one of the movie’s most studied and praised scenes pretty much on his own! Nowadays, it’s impossible to imagine “A Clockwork Orange” without it.
