Yes, and Magee gives an outstanding performance here, whereas the rest of the cast kind of barely scrapes by...

Overall, not a bad bit of early Coppola. But the reason I keep re-watching this film is to see the great Magee do the understated, authoritative type of character at which he excelled. What he added to this is immeasurable.

You must be kidding. He sucked as much as anyone else.

My fave horror movie with this actor (Patrick Magee) is 'The Masque of the Red Death.' In that one he plays a sadist who gets his come-uppance in a really memorable scene.

My favorite movie of his that I've seen would definitely have to be Tales From the Crypt. He plays a blind man who lives at a home for the blind where the residents are cruelly treated. He plays the role so you can easily feel sorry for the character and root for him to get revenge every step of the way.

I've been waiting for you, Ben.

"DISHWATER!"!"

Although I have not seen every movie of this memorable actor . I totally agree here that Patrick Magee was an excellent actor in both movies Dementia 13 ( and for me of course ) his signature role A Clockwork Orange from 1971 . Even his looks and voice were wonderfully unique as well  . Thanks pillix for your subject post .

He was also excellent in Barry Lyndon. Was a terrific actor!

I just watched "D-13" and thought he looked familiar, but couldn't place where I knew him from. Thanks for connecting the dots for me! It's been a while since I've seen "Clockwork."

He was also Surgeon Reynolds in Zulu.

He had a brief role as a police superintendent in the superb Séance on a Wet Afternoon (1964): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058557/?ref_=nv_sr_2.

Did you notice the scene (about an hour into the film) where he's sitting at a table telling the kid to "drink up" "drink up", getting him drunk to talk. It was SO dang similar to the scene when he knocked out Alex in Clockwork!
