10 Actors Who Absolutely Hate Your Favourite Movies
10. Robert Duvall Didn't Like Stanley Kubrick's Work - The Shining & A Clockwork Orange
Without a doubt sitting as two of the most influential and unsettling features ever thrown into the big-screen landscape, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and A Clockwork Orange have both terrified and inspired generations in the wake of their 1980 and 1971 releases, respectively.
One person who most definitely wasn't impressed by the shifts put in by the likes of Jack Nicholson and Malcolm McDowell, however, comes in the form of The Godfather icon Robert Duvall. As the respected screen veteran confessed in a THR Roundtable conversation a few years back, while Duvall still classed both as "great movies", they contained "terrible performances" by those being housed within the features.
This was on the back of branding "the great Stanley Kubrick" as "an actor's enemy" as well, with the star also twisting the knife further by explaining, "How does he know the different between the first take and the seventieth take? I mean, what is that about?"
Never one to keep his opinions to himself, Duvall clearly had no time for Nicholson huffing and puffing and blowing a house in during the likes of said Shining.
