Short description
An ambitious coffee salesman has a series of improbable and ironic adventures seemingly designed to challenge his naive idealism.
What's left behind the scenes
- Around 30 takes were filmed of the scene in which the director, played by Lindsay Anderson (1923-1994), hits Malcolm McDowell's character in the face with the script.
- Practically every member of the cast played multiple roles.
- In the orgy scene, the actors appear drunk, but in reality, they were drinking tea.
- A scene in which Rachel Roberts (1927-1980) portrays a housewife contemplating suicide was cut from the American release. In November 1980, Roberts committed suicide due to depression.
- Ralph Richardson (1902-1983) constantly forgot the names of other characters, so he wrote them on his palms and on the sleeves of his costume.
- When Mick arrives at the clinic, one lab technician calls another Stanley. This is a tribute to Stanley Kubrick, whose film *A Clockwork Orange* (1971) placed Malcolm McDowell's character in a similar situation. *Oh, Lucky Man!* contains other references to Kubrick's cult dystopian film.
- Mick's car: a 1965 Ford Anglia Estate 1200 Deluxe.
