Malcolm McDowell Quote

I did a picture I loved called Time After Time (1979), and the people who saw it loved it. We had a big opening in Toronto at the Festival of Festivals - huge - and they gave us a fabulous reception. Great city, Toronto - Mary (Mary Steenburgen) and I loved it there. Great restaurants, great people. The studio hired these so-called `experts` to tell them how to market the film. And these silly asses took a poll to determine a `recognition` factor. And more people recognized Jack the Ripper, which was David Warner`s role in the movie, than H.G. Wells, who I played in the movie. Hardly anyone recognized the name H.G. Wells, in fact. So they decided to go with a campaign that stressed Jack the Ripper, which was all well and good except that people didn`t want to see another movie about Jack the Ripper, and they stayed away in droves. I`ve got a big piece of that film, but I haven`t seen a penny, and I probably never will. However, I did meet my wife making that movie, so I don`t really mind!
