Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has a good time - at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel. Controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director Awards and earned four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Its power still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp.

Description

Caught is a tale of Leonora (Barbara Bel Geddes, VERTIGO), an aspiring carhop who meets and marries a mysterious millionaire, Smith Ohlrig (Robert Ryan, GOD'S LITTLE ACRE). Soon after the wedding, Laura realizes she's trapped in a loveless marriage with a ruthless workaholic husband who torments her with twisted mind games. Unable to obtain a divorce from Smith, she moves out of the mansion and goes to work for a dedicated doctor, Larry Quinada (James Mason, ODD MAN OUT). The two quickly fall in love but the romance comes to an abrupt halt when Leonora learns that she is pregnant with Ohlrig's child. Legendary director Max Opuls (Max Ophuls) (LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, THE RECKLESS MOMENT) and the top-notch cast masterfully navigate the ensuing complications through atmospheric cinematography by Lee Garmes (DUEL IN THE SUN) and stylish art direction from Frank Paul Sylos (SUDDENLY). Caught was adapted for the screen by Arthur Laurents (WEST SIDE STORY, ROPE) from Libbie Block's novel WILD CALENDAR.
