A Clockwork Orange (1971)

dir: Stanley Kubrick

Narrated by Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), the film opens on Alex and his droogs, Pete (Michael Tarn), Georgie (James Marcus) and Dim (Warren Clarke), partaking of narcotic-spiked milk at the Korova Milk Bar prior to an evening of "the old ultra-violence". They proceed to beat up an elderly vagrant under a motorway and interrupt an attempted gang rape of a woman by a rival gang led by BillyboyBoth Burgess' novel and Stanley Kubrick's published movie script have this character's name as one word "Billyboy" although the Internet Movie Database lists him in the credits with two words "Billy Boy". (Richard Connaught). They subsequently get in a brawl with their rivals. Upon hearing the sounds of police sirens, the gang flees, stealing a car and driving into the countryside on the wrong side of the road. They then gain entry to the home of Mr. Alexander, a writer, under false pretenses and assault him while violently raping his wife (Adrienne Corri), all while Alex sings "Singing' in the Rain." When they return to the milk bar, Alex chides Dim when he interrupts a female patron while she sings a selection of Beethoven, a composer Alex admires.
