Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ “A Clockwork Orange”

 

The greatest regret of Italian composer Ennio Morricone’s career was due to an apparent lie told by his regular collaborator, Sergio Leone.

Due to the fact that Morricone had just completed work on Leone’s A Fistful of Dynamite, Kubrick called the director to ensure he wasn’t stepping on his toes.

“Sergio Leone told him I was still busy with him, so Kubrick didn’t ask me again. I wasn’t able to do A Clockwork Orange, a great regret. Kubrick never called me back."

“I was quite disappointed, because I’ve written for so many other types of films,” he said.
