Continuity mistake: When Alex and his droogs come in on Billy Boy making ready to rape the young girl, the first shot shows the lacing of a shoe or sandal on the girl's left calf, but afterward it jumps to her right.

Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Warren Clarke, Michael Bates
After trying to committ suicide from the old man's house he is at the hospital then is made to be a victim in the press because the treatment was cruel . At the end of the film he is "cured". In the book there was an extra chapter not included in the film because the amercian publication of the book didn't include it. It was cut because Amercian publishers didn't like how Alex was "cured" by coming of age (turning 21).

Trivia: The book that F. Alexander is writing when the droogs burst in and attack his wife is "A Clockwork Orange."
Question: I have a few questions: What was the ultimate fate of Mr. Alexander, the writer? The Minister of Interior mentioned something about incarceration? If so, why was he incarcerated? Was it because of what he did to Alex, or because he was a threat? Also, the Minister mentioned something about him writing subversive literature? What kind of literature? Finally, what exactly did Alex and his droogs do to confine Mr. Alexander to a wheelchair and how exactly did his wife die? Was it pneumonia or circumstances related to her rape?
Chosen answer: Since this is a futuristic police state, it's likely that Mr. Alexander was dealt with the way dissenters are often dealt with in such situations (Execution or lifelong imprisonment.). In the book, he wrote literature protesting the police state. (The phrase "A Clockwork Orange" comes from a pamphlet he wrote.) Alex and his droogs kicked and beat him while they raped his wife. A while later, the doctors told him she'd died of pneumonia, but he thinks the trauma made her give up the will to live.
