''Little Malcolm'' is a 1974 British comedy drama film directed by Stuart Cooper. It was entered into the 24th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Silver Bear.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale Archiv Jahresarchive 1974 Preisträger )〕 The film is based on the stage play ''Little Malcolm and His Struggle Against the Eunuchs'' by David Halliwell.〔Clayson, p. 370.〕 The full name of the play is used as the film title on the BFI Flipside 2011 DVD release.〔 An Apple Films project, ''Little Malcolm'' was the first feature film produced by former Beatle George Harrison.〔 The film was shot primarily in Lancashire, in the north of England, during February and March of 1973.〔Badman, p. 90.〕 Harrison supplied incidental music for the soundtrack〔Michael Simmons, "Cry for a Shadow", ''Mojo'', November 2011, p. 85.〕 and, after being introduced to the duo Splinter by their manager Mal Evans, produced their song "Lonely Man" for inclusion in a pivotal scene.〔Clayson, p. 346.〕〔Badman, p. 129.〕 Like many of Apple's film and recording projects, production on ''Little Malcolm'' was then jeopardised by lawsuits pertaining to Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr's severing of ties with manager Allen Klein.〔Doggett, pp. 204–06.〕〔Woffinden, pp. 74–75.〕 Speaking in 2011, Cooper recalled that Harrison "fought for a very long time to extract ''Little Malcolm'' from the official receivers"; its entry in the Berlin festival was only possible because the festival was an artistic forum and not finance-related.〔 After what Cooper described as an "incredible" reception at Berlin for "this very British film",〔 ''Little Malcolm'' went on to win a gold medal at the Atlanta Film Festival in August 1974.〔 Once the Beatles' partnership had been formally dissolved in January 1975, the film received a brief run in London's West End.〔Badman, pp. 149, 150.〕 ==Cast== * Rosalind Ayres as Ann Gedge * John Hurt as Malcolm Scrawdyke * John McEnery as Wick Blagdon * Raymond Platt as Irwin Ingham * David Warner as Dennis Charles Nipple 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little Malcolm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
