Ford of the Day



Before starring in "A Clockwork Orange" Malcom McDowell made a hell of an impression as the insouciant Mick Travis in Lindsay Anderson's "If". It's a daringly anarchic vision of British society, set in a boarding school in late-sixties England and was released in 1969.

"If" is part of the excellent Criterion Collection. Take a close look at the scene above and you'll discover why McDowell has become "Ford of the Day"
