And so to the credits. A final thought about Singin in the Rain. When McDowell was introduced to Gene Kelly after making A Clockwork Orange, Kelly turned his back on him and walked out of the room. And who could blame him? #ClockworkTweetAlong

Kubrick ends the film at the end of chapter 20, leaving out the 21st chapter which appeared in the UK first edition of the book. Evidence from the archive shows that Anthony Burgess ended his 1969 film script in exactly the same place. #ClockworkTweetAlong

Mr Alexander's fate is fleetingly disclosed by the Minister: 'He was a menace. We put him away for his own protection ... and for yours.' #ClockworkTweetAlong

Cannot look at Alex's dad without seeing him as Delbert Grady in The Shining. Philip Stone was the only actor to appear in three consecutive Kubrick films. #ClockworkTweetAlong

The first hospital scene is another addition by Kubrick. It seems to have strayed in from Carry On Nurse. #ClockworkTweetAlong

The book's phrased slightly differently: “I jumped, O my brothers, and I fell on the sidewalk hard, but I did not snuff it, oh no. If I had snuffed it I would not be here to write what I written have.” #ClockworkTweetAlong

One for the Kubrick fans: the snooker table foreshadows the crucial scene in Eyes Wide Shut. #ClockworkTweetAlong

Alex is less than delighted to hear Beethoven's Ninth remixed by Wendy Carlos. He burps and screams: 'Turn it off! Turn it off!' Mr Alexander gloats downstairs and turns up the torture tape. #ClockworkTweetAlong

Enter the slimy political conspirators (heavy smokers in the novel). You can be sure their intentions are not good. #ClockworkTweetAlong
