i remember see this movie for the first time with a friend while on vacation in anaheim and california in october and 1976. while drive the tourist laden city street and we saw a movie marquee advertising alice in wonderland xxx . so before even check out disneyland version of the lewis carroll classic a half mile away and our curiosity win out and we venture into this cinematic threshold . i remember even before the movie begin how surprised i be to see this kind of film appear in staid and ultra conservative orange county . thirty two year later and i come across alice in wonderland at a local video store . i wonder to myself if this be the same film until i look at the back of the jacket and saw a picture of lovely kristine debell in the starring role and decide to rekindle some fond memory . subversive video and to their credit and have release two version and x and xxx in the same package . a it turn out and the version my friend and i saw in anaheim be rat x in spite of the original xxx advertising at the there . see it the second time around make me realize what a delightful romp director bud townsend brought to the screen . a an example of this man scope behind the camera and in his salad day he direct two episode of tv death valley day . miss debell and appear in the april and 1976 cover of playboy be ideal a alice . she bring a fresh all american innocence to the role a a librarian in her early twenty yearn for a good life . when her boyfriend be rebuff from take their relationship to the next level and alice reach her turning point . this be a amusical comedy yet the melody be quite catchy with appropriate string and brass to offset the generally suggestive lyric . miss debell have a pleasant singing voice a she trill about want to be free . that when the magic begin . the pacing of this movie be surprisingly fluid and give the genre and the support cast of wonderland be there to enable alice a she blossom into womanhood . special mention go to tv veteran larry gelman a the white rabbit who seem to be the only character not obsess with sex a he be always run late for an appointment . or something . special feature include comment from noted feminist advocate lena ramone who impart how view this movie while attend college influence her in choose a career a an adult film actress after graduation . what make alice in wonderland such a delightful jaunt be it garden like set . partly film in the lush and natural splendor of vancouver b. c. stanley park and the movie belie it pornographic root . you do not come away feel you have watch a sleazy skin flick . at this writing and i haven not view the triple xxx version . the extra sex footage tack on afterward would and in all probability and disrupt the overall flow and remove the light and breezy atmosphere evident throughout . naturally and the lewis carroll version be the best way to curl up and explore alice adventure in wonderland . however and for a time capsule represent 1970s adult film archive and alice in wonderland be worth follow that white rabbit for a ribald ride full of mirthful mayhem .
