Our expert's notes

One Sheet (28" x 41"); X-Rated Style ;
Very Fine- on Linen; Artwork by Philip Castle
Warner Bros., 1971

Issued for the film's original X-Rated theatrical release, this example was professionally linen-backed with expert restoration to repair the folds, while the white background features sporadic airbrushing to address fold and crossfold wear and minor creases.

Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) and his droogs barbarize a decaying near-future in "A Clockwork Orange," a dystopian crime drama directed, produced and adapted by Stanley Kubrick from Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel. Set in a bleak, near-future Britain, the film explores unsettling and violent themes as a critique of psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth subcultures, and broader social, political and economic issues. McDowell's eyes were numbed during the torture scenes to minimize discomfort during filming. Despite this, the metal lid clamps repeatedly scratched his corneas and the doctor overseeing Alex during the forced film-watching scenes was an actual medical professional, present to make sure his eyes remained properly hydrated.
