== Trivia ==
# Stanley Kubrick's first cut (before hiring several assistant editors) ran almost four hours
# The final scene was done after 74 takes
# Before the rape scene was filmed, Adrienne Corri walked up to Malcolm McDowell and said, "Well, Malcolm, today you're going to find out I'm a real redhead".
# When they where Shooting the rape scene of the Writers wife, Malcolm McDowell said that he and the others sat around for 5 days thinking on what was gonna happened until Stanley Kubrick came to him on the fitness day and asked McDowell to dance and he danced but he wasn’t suppose to sing. But he sung ‘singing in the rain’ and Kubrick was laughing so much where he bought the song for 10,000 Dollars and it took a week to shoot the sequence.
# Malcolm McDowell chose to play Alex speaking in his normal Northern English accent instead of a Cockney accent. McDowell felt his softer accent would strike an interesting contrast with Alex's menacing personality and also help him stand out amongst his friends. McDowell's eyes were anesthetized for the torture scenes so that he would film for periods of time without too much discomfort. Nevertheless his corneas got repeatedly scratched by the metal lid locks.
