      Brian W A faithful adaptation chock full of British acting royalty, with songs by Oscar, BAFTA, & Golden Globe winner John Barry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Simon T Bland and literal musical version of the famous Lewis Carroll book, with a very bad musical score by an off-form John Barry. Many of the cast had already appeared in Jonathan Miller's superior TV version. Here they're further burdened by being buried in make-up. Fiona Fullerton is not bad as Alice and has the right unsentimental coolness. It looks at times like an extended Crackerjack sketch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Maria D. G I watched this in the context of 1972 and being made in England. I felt that it very much was close to the time it was written and having a very English sensibility. Wonderful makeup, costumes and acting depicting people as animals. This was made with imagination and craftsmanship no tech or digital processes. Reminds me of the pantomimes I saw as a child. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Is a Masterpiece Amazing Movie is Fantastic My Favorite and Fiona is Gorgeous as Alice i Always Watch it is Cool 😀😃😄 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member For sure. this is the definitive screen adaptation of Lewis Carroll's famous story of Alice's adventures underground. It won't be for everyone but lovers of the book should enjoy this one. The sets and costumes all faithfully follow John Tenniel's original illustrations and always think of Fiona Fullerton as the perfect Alice. It's certainly not a perfect film but. for me, its merits outweigh its shortcomings. The pace can be a little slow and tedious yet at other times. with John Barry's haunting, atmospheric score, the film can be magical, bewitching and hypnotic to a point. The songs are silly and add nothing to the film but there's a stellar British line-up of thespians in this underrated adaptation and much to like about it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 90% faithful to the source material (are you listening, Tim Burton?). The cinematography is outstanding and the set designers clearly took their cues from the Tenniel illustrations. More importantly is the dark element that permeates the book but has been sorely lacking from almost all other film adaptations except for the BBC production directed by Jonathan Miller (featuring Peter Sellers as the King of Hearts). Enchanting and well worth watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Eddie Harrison film-authority.com '...perhaps the mustiness of this enterprise is not for kids, but for nostalgic adults, it’s got an off-kilter energy that feels true to Carroll’s whimsical attitudes...' Rated: 3/5 Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
