  Clockwork Orange

  £325.00

  “Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”

  Without doubt the most controversial film of its day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”. This original 1972 publicity still from the American release of Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” is quite simply an incredible visual image – original  stills are notoriously hard to come by with the majority on offer modern reprints. Showing a close up of the Director-Producer the snipe on the reverse carries the correct reference number (SKB-130) and the following – STANLEY KUBRICK, producer-director of “A Clockwork Orange”, a Warner Bros. release. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, the film was adapted to the screen by Kubrick.” It still remains his most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career. This superb  example is presented flat/unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. A superb addition to any collection (for display or investment) and an incredibly scarce piece of film and cultural memorabilia.

  Trivia: The film was unavailable for public viewing in the UK from 1973 until 2000, the year after Stanley Kubrick‘s death. British video stores were so inundated with requests for the movie that some took to putting up signs that read: ‘No, we do not have A Clockwork Orange (1971).’
