darkazana 1,736 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Another actor leaves us. Never watched Dalziel and Pascoe, but loved his characters that popped up from time to time. His last work is a remake of Poldark, I shall await it with interest as I used to love watching the original in the 70's. RIP Warren Clarke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Saw A clockwork Orange when it first came out in 1972? Was it the director Stanley Kubrick who withdrew the film shortly after? I know it resurface a long time later was it after Kubrick's death in 1999 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yes Kubrick withdrew it himself to try and stem the controversy, it only became widely shown after his death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Here's a bit of the sound track By Walter Carlos His @Switched on Bach@ was one of the first(if not the first) "Moog" recordings Clockwork Orange was Carlos's second album Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Another great British actor gone. RIP As an aside, my wife went into labour with our son watching Clockwork Orange at the Metropole cinema Sherwood. Ha funny that, she's never liked violent scenes in films. I also had the vinyl sound track for years. Loved synth music at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Re. Walter Carlos. Now known of course as Wendy Carlos since 'gender transition' in 1972. I think Clockwork Orange was about the 4th. album (after 'Switched On Bach', 'The Well Tempered Synthesizer' and 'Sonic Seasonings') Switched On Bach was ground-breaking and still sounds great today. On the Clockwork Orange soundtrack I particularly like the version of Beethoven's 9th - with it's vocoder choir. Amazing really for 1972. Re. Warren Clark. He was great for those craggy-type roles. I particularly liked a TV play he did with Haydn Gwynne many years ago about relationships. Good Brummie accent ! He said that he got loads of offers after Clockwork Orange for similar type roles, but turned them down for fear of being type-cast. Sad that he died so suddenly. I didn't even know he'd been ill.
