Alice's Restaurant

Singer/songwriter Arlo Guthrie stars in Alice's Restaurant directed by Arthur Penn (Bonnie & Clyde, The Miracle Worker) from a screenplay by Penn and Venable Herndon. Guthrie, using his musical monologue Alice's Restaurant Massacre as a template, and under Arthur Penn's assured direction, Alice's Restaurant is a free-flowing, free wheeling, counter-culture comedy set during the turbulent 60's adapted from Guthrie's musical monologue Alice's Restaurant Massacre. Guthrie portrays the embodiment of America's youth, a young man who sees his life beginning to unravel through psychedelic drug -fueled haze, as he and his friends (and the plot) spin toward an explosive conclusion. Alice's Restaurant also features James Broderick (Dog Day Afternoon) and musician Pete Seeger as Himself.
