Malcolm McDowell's favorite movie of all that he's made.
After the success of If.... (1968), Malcolm McDowell suggested to producer and director Lindsay Anderson that they should work again. Anderson replied that good scripts don't grow on trees, and that McDowell should consider writing his own if he wanted to give himself a good part. Although McDowell was only thirty at the time, he based this movie around the concept of his own life story, and then brought it to David Sherwin, who then crafted the screenplay.
There were approximately thirty takes of the scene where producer and director Lindsay Anderson slapped Malcolm McDowell across the face with a script.
A scene with Rachel Roberts as a suicidal London housewife was cut from the American release. It was also cut from the film at its London opening, after being included for the press show only three days before this premiere. The scene was restored for the video release of the film. (Tragically, Rachel Roberts herself committed suicide in 1980.) CORRECTION: At a showing in London on 22 May 1973, 19 days after the premiere, this scene was present. It had been removed by a showing on June 5. It was rumoured that it was cut simply to reduce the length.
Virtually every member of the cast played multiple roles.
"Monty: Try not to die like a dog."
"Film director: Smile! Michael Arnold Travis: For what? There's nothing to smile about! Film director: You don't have to have a reason. Just do it. Michael Arnold Travis: But there's nothing to smile about."
