Alice's Restaurant (1969)

Alice’s Restaurant: Directed by Arthur Penn. With Arlo Guthrie, Patricia Quinn, James Broderick, Pete Seeger. A cinematic adaption of Arlo Guthrie’s classic song story.

“I remember back in the 80s my Mom rented this movie and from the cover and title I didnu0026#39;t think Iu0026#39;d like it. Not only did I like it, but I now watch it every Thanksgiving season. Iu0026#39;ve always liked Arlo Guthrieu0026#39;s music and the soundtrack is excellent, featuring the title track which tells this true story. Itu0026#39;s quite a fun movie, laced with moments of very serious elements like Woody, Arlou0026#39;s dad, in the hospital. The scene in the hospital with Arlo and Pete Seeger singing the Car Car song to Woody in the hospital was very heartwarming. The characters are all colorful and enjoyable to watch and very typical of the folk scene in the late 60s, just before I was born.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003en***1/2 (Out of 4)”
