Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland

Fans of Lewis Carroll's classic novel for children will be fascinated by this startling 1966 interpretation by Jonathan Miller, a noted British theater director. Influenced by surrealism and Victorian architecture, Miller's black-and-white version of Wonderland is a dour and creepy place, not the frenetic and charming bustle usually depicted. A brunette Alice (Anne-Marie Mallik) wanders like a sleepwalker, rarely looking anyone in the eye, and has fractured conversations with the likes of the Mad Hatter (Peter Cook, Bedazzled), the Caterpillar (Sir Michael Redgrave, The Lady Vanishes), the Duchess (Leo McKern, Rumpole of the Bailey), and the Mock Turtle (Sir John Gielgud, Brideshead Revisited, Arthur). The result is probably an accurate picture of the adult world seen through a child's eyes--an unsettling and intriguing vision. Also featuring Peter Sellers as the King of Hearts and music by Ravi Shankar. --Bret Fetzer

Alice:
I'm not staying here listening you to be rude.

Alice:
If you drink too much from a bottle marked "poison," it's almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.

Alice:
I think carefully before acting rashly.

Queen of Hearts:
Sound advice.

Tweedledee:
I was an advisor to the British army.

Tweedledum:
I advised them not to take him, but they wouldn't listen.

Alice:
You don't seem to have much riding practice.

White Knight:
What makes you say that?

Alice:
You keep falling off your horse!

Mad Hatter:
Personal remarks are rude?

Alice:
Mm-hmm.

Mad Hatter:
Egad, you learn something new every day.

Queen of Hearts:
I gave you fair warning. Either you or your head must be *off*!

Mock Turtle:
The master was an old turtle. We used to call him Tortoise.

Alice:
Why did you call him Tortoise if he wasn't one?

Mock Turtle:
We called him Tortoise because he taught us!

Alice:
Why am I here?

Duchess:
To save Jack from a death worse than fate!

Alice:
Oh Tiger Lily, I wish you could talk so you could tell me how to get out of this wood.

Tiger Lily:
I can talk, when there's anybody worth talking to!

Alice:
You have to tread with care when dealing with cats, they have influence and are seen in all the smart places.

Queen of Hearts:
Richard! You must cross-examine the witness!

Queen of Hearts:
Yes, Richard, be a man.

Queen of Hearts:
I am NOT in the habit of talking to myself.

Queen of Hearts:
Even though it's the only way I can get a decent conversation around here.

Mad Hatter:
Time marches on its stomach!

Alice:
It's an army that marches on its stomach!
