Summary: Ever Wonder What You're Missing?
Comment: Those of us who are fans of the "Drive-In" movie genre have long been familiar with this quirky, sexy take on Alice's adventures. The "R" rated version shown in the 70's was strangely charming, making Alice seem both delightfully naive and extremely sexy. The original songs and musical numbers ranged from cute to downright stupid, and the movie is wildly uneven in every way, but it is one of those flicks that you can revisit and still enjoy.
This DVD version features both the "R" and "X"-rated versions of the movie. I always wondered how much had been left on the cutting-room floor, as some of the scenes were obviously toned-down. This DVD answered my questions and surprised me, as well. I found that (for once) LESS is MORE. The X-rated version has more of everything - explicit sex, longer scenes, etc. Sadly, it loses the innocent quality that made the movie one of my favorites. The explicit sex makes the film seem tawdry, tacky and tasteless.
HOWEVER -- this DVD contains BOTH versions of the film. My recommendation is to watch the R-rated version first. If you are curious, then watch the X-rated film, but I'll bet that when you take it off the shelf next time, you'll go back to the "R".
If you like the unusual, and are not easily offended by nudity, then buy this DVD. This telling of Alice's adventures will make you smile (and maybe leer a little).

Summary: Its alright, but not great
Comment: I'm not fully sure why its rated X, I will say it can be consider light porn. Its without question a different look on Alice in Wonderland. I was hoping it was animated but its not.

Comment: Kristine DeBell ... DeGreat !!
I saw this flick on one of those pesky hotel movie systems about 20 years ago, and had thought it was pretty average. But the versions offered now on DVD are beautifully and carefully re-done, and they leave nothing out.
Maybe you thought Teri Weigel had been the first Playmate-of-the-Month to do any adult films? Wrongo. Kristine DeBell, in Playboy 10 years before Weigel, does it all in the adult version of this cult classic.
The makers of this DVD spend a bunch of time apologizing to the viewer for alleged "poor quality" of some of the video. Maybe I was just so stunned by DeBell's looks that I didn't notice.
If there are better versions out there than this, then I'd like to see them because this seems to be very good.

Comment: Alice In Wonderland
"Alice In Wonderland" is a carefree 1976 musical sex comedy that has endured in popularity; it holds a unique place in adult films. Though "Alice" was shot with some hardcore sex scenes, the maker or distributor (20th Century Fox!) chose to delete the explicit footage before the movie was released. Thanks to abundant nudity, and the sparkling presence of pretty Kristine DeBell, the now hard R/soft X feature became a popular and highly profitable staple on the drive-in theater circuit.
Miss DeBell was a Ford agency fashion model before making "Alice." In April 1976 she appeared on the cover of Playboy; the photo came under fire from anti-pornography zealots because it portrayed her as an underage schoolgirl. While never a "Playmate," Kristine also was pictured au natural in the August issue as part of a Helmut Newton photo feature. After "Alice," she moved on to roles in the Bill Murray comedy "Meatballs" and other mainstream films. Her TV credits include the role of Judge Harry Stone's rock star girlfriend Jennifer Black in an episode of "Night Court," and a stint on "The Young and the Restless."
In the early 1980s "Alice" was released on home video with the deleted footage restored, though the theatrical version was more widely available. The "Limited Storybook Edition" contains both the XXX and soft X versions; the Playboy cover photo is included on the back of the DVD case. The explicit footage is slightly abbreviated, most noticeably in Alice's massage scene, and has significantly more scratches, jumps, color shifts, etc. than the version released by Xtravision in the '80s.
What has always made "Alice" appealing is its lighthearted treatment of sex. In this pre-HIV world, lovemaking is presented as risk-free fun; the silly jokes, catchy songs, and dance choreography make it unlike any other adult film in memory. An above average actress for this genre, Kristine DeBell projects refreshing sincerity, enthusiasm, and innocence (her fresh-faced cuteness and natural body don't hurt, either). Well worth watching.

Editorial Reviews:

Produced by the legendary Bill Osco, this witty, appealing fantasy adult musical treatment of the Lewis Carroll classic starring former Playmate Kristine DeBell as Alice features original songs like 'What's a Girl Like You Doing On A Knight Like This' and will have you laughing as familiar characters such as the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit put a titillating twist on the children's tale. While certainly not for the kiddies, it doesn't have any of the hardcore, unemotional edge common to the adult genre---just lots of skin, silliness and fun, fun, fun.
