A Clockwork Orange
Even outstanding and experienced directors like Stanley Kubrick can hit a brick wall sometimes. Well this happened while filming the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his friends break into a woman’s home and attack her. Kubrick didn’t love how the scene was coming out, take after take. Thus, he told McDowell, “Just do whatever you want.” That’s when McDowell broke out into the famous, “Singing in the Rain.”
