About this product

Product Information

Lindsay Anderson, working again with Malcolm McDowell and Robert Sherwin, continues his comic comment on corruption in British society when Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell), the school boy from IF. . ., sets out, like a modern Candide, to make his way in the business world. Anderson stretches the boundaries of cinema with an eclectic use of movies within movies, silent-film-style title cards, surreal fantasies, actors playing multiple parts, and a live soundtrack. Alan Price appears on screen singing several songs. In the lyrics to one song he sings, 'Someone has to win in the human race, if it isn't you, then it has to be me', which is thematically linked to Mick's rise and fall in his career journey from lowly coffee salesman to assistant to Sir James Burgess (Ralph Richardson), the most evil man in the world. <BR> This is a very fast-paced, wildly creative, cinematic tour-de-force that set the standard for expanding the boundaries of British cinema in the early 1970s. McDowell, who is on screen in almost every scene, keeps the bizarre situations from overwhelming the human emotions with a marvellously expressive performance. In the end, with a sly Zen message, Anderson tells us that in a crazy world we can only look within ourselves for a reason to smile.

  • O lucky man

    This film sums up why the 1970,s is the best decade for films. The originality and creativity of this decade is in full evidence inLindsay Anderson,s O, Lucky Man .Watch this film to be reminded how good films were at this time.

  • Cult nostalgia

    The Alan Price music score was better than the movie. It was never a popular movie and has not dated very well.

  • O lucky you!

    Sure it sprawls a bit, and the various cast members turn up in multiple roles its best you know this before sitting down to consume it in the 3 hours its on, I know it sounds long, but actually Lindsay Anderson direction, the superb Malcolm McDowell, and a host of splendid supporting members make this a joy from beginning to end, plus the songs by Jarrow born singer songwriter Alan Price are great too. It's great like a softer Clockwork Orange, and also an epic piece of English cinema. Its like Homers odyssey, but with a coffee salesman who gets himself up-to all manner of palaver.
