The last film Kubrick made based from an original screenplay and not a novel.
Music - Love Theme from the Song "Once" by Norman Gimbel and Arden Clar
Working with practically no budget and largely without on-location filming permits, Kubrick had to remain unnoticed while shooting in the nation's busiest city, sometimes secretly shooting from a nearby vehicle.
To shoot the scene in which the fight manager is murdered in an East Side alley, Kubrick had to first negotiate with the five transients who had set up a makeshift home and were unwilling to relinquish their turf.
In one scene Irene Kane was supposed to walk across 42nd Street, but a truck driver repeatedly blocked the way with his vehicle. The driver agreed to clear the area only if Kane would later meet him for a drink. She agreed and the scene was shot, but to this day no one (except those two) knows if the promised rendezvous actually took place.
Unable to pay an assistant, Kubrick edited the film alone, taking four months to add every sound effect. He also had to re-record all the film's dialogue and because Irene Kane was not available for these post-synch sessions radio actress Peggy Lobbin voiced her role.
Irene Kane later went by the name Chris Chase.
Ruth Sobotka was Kubrick's second wife. They were married nine months before the film was released. They divorced in 1957 and she died in 1967.
Shots that possibly influenced A Clockwork Orange 15 years
later
Shadowy man in a tunnel (like droogs with the tramp)
Running on the rooftops (dystopian city)
Attack with a torso (like Alex and the phallus)
"There are no postcard shows in this picture. I wanted to
film the smell, the fell and color of the city." Kubrick
"Everything had to be done sub rosa." David Vaughan, ballet
choreographer.
