O Lucky Man!--II

I said before that I hoped someone would upload on YouTube the last version of Alan Price's song "O Lucky Man!" in the eponymous movie by Lindsay Anderson.

And luckily, someone has, but this someone is at the very least obsessed with Helen Mirren, because he is uploading rips of all the scenes she appears in from all her movies. That's why if you want to see the more rocking version of this song, you have to wait until the last two minutes of this clip.



The finale of the movie is like one huge wrap party, in which first Lindsay Anderson, the director, and then various actors in the film, such as Mirren and Rachel Roberts, greet Mick Travis, played by Malcolm McDowell.

Unfortunately. O Lucky Man! has not been released on DVD, but the first Mick Travis movie, If..., has just been, by Criterion, and I'll probably have something to say about it later.

"Don't you always?"

"Are you sure you're in this class?"

I remastered it in stereo, but unfortunately youtube tends to squeeze the separation quite a bit. Still, it's widescreen.
