A new controversy is brewing in Britain over Stanley Kubrick's 1971 cult classic "A Clockwork Orange."
A cinema manager, Jane Giles, has been charged with breach of copyright for showing the film last April. The movie was withdrawn from Britain in 1974 at Kubrick's request.The filmmaker reportedly was alarmed by a series of rapes and murders that received lurid publicity in the press and that many said appeared to be inspired by the teenage violence depicted in the film.
"A Clockwork Orange," based on Anthony Burgess' futuristic tale, starred Malcolm McDowell as a delinquent with a taste for explicit violence and classical music.
