An erotic, musical version of the Lewis Carroll classic, well made and vividly creative
, 28 August 2008

ironside (robertfrangie@hotmail.com) from Mexico
A lovely librarian, played by Playboy model Kristine DeBell, falls
asleep and dreams herself into a strange world filled with extremely
uninhibited people
These people love to sing and dance and fool
around
Alice has a series of sensual adventures among these
characters
The film was originally shot as a poem to eroticism with few explicit
sex scenes, which were eventually cut from its theatrical release
Videocassette versions, however, have had some of the original erotic
encounters joined at the end with them
For an extremely low-budget picture, the producers of this film did an
extremely good job
The cinematography is full of life and energy, the
dances and numbers quite professional, and the acting lovable
Without
a doubt, it is one of the best adult fairy tales around

The "R" Rated Version is Excellent, 17 January 1999
Author:
Rick Cross (LVWolfman) from Las Vegas, NV
I agree with Rick who previously reviewed this. The soft core "R" version
is excellent. The hard core version released later is so disjointed that it
is a hardship to watch. The extra hard core scenes detract from the great
movie and are truly extraneous.
While originally intended to be a true hard core porno, but the first with a
true big budget and quality, Bill chickened out and opted to release an
edited "R" rated version instead. That version is the one that everyone
loves.
Years later, he succumbed to the pressure from curiosity seekers and added
in much of the footage originally left on the cutting room floor, and
released the X rated version.
It's pretty obvious when watching the X rated version when these scenes
appear.
If you like adult spoofs of fairy tales, quality acting, singing, costumes
and sets, then by all means get the "R" rated version. You'll enjoy
it.
If you're an avid collector, get both versions.

The Psycho-Sexual Stages of Developement, 28 September 2002

I saw this fine flick shortly leaving college. As I sat there happily
watching Alice go from repressed virgin to sexual adventurer, I got to
wondering why her sexual encounters seemed familiar. Then I remembered--
Intro Psych 101 Lecture! One of the lectures dealt with the Psycho-Sexual
Stages of Developement, basically the shift over time on what part of the
body and its attendant stimulations gets our main attention, as well as the
changing emphasis on what gives us pleasure. Alice's first encounter is
being bathed, with emphasis on the genitals and bottom. Her next encounter
is an oral one with the Mad Hatter's dingaling. I forget the rest of the
lecture and the order of Alice's encounters, but I do remember how well they
matched. It's interesting to see a skin flick with some brains behind it,
rather than the cliche "I'm here to deliver your pizza. Let's
screw."
I don't see how Kristin DeBell's career could be wrecked by this film, as it
was her first film. And Reagan's tiresome hypocrisies had yet to mar this
land when it was released, but in a way he and his stooge Meese did affect
Ms DeBell. When Meese was staging his anti-pornography commission (to
distract people from his own criminal activities), Meese hired the services
of an anti-porn activist named Judith Reisner. Reisner was obsessed with
images she perceived as child pornography. She saw the "Alice" cover Ms
DeBell did for Playboy and promptly announced she had scientifically proven
that Ms DeBell was in fact a photo collage of parts from several grown women
and the face of a ten year old. Yeah, right....

Quite an unusual film, but excellent! (spoilers), 29 March 2004

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
When I was engaged, my fiance and I would frequent the adult bookstores.
He
would look for his favorite mags, and on occasion a video that caught the
eye. As much as I enjoyed the one-on-one with him that the media caused,
there was never a video that I really enjoyed. I had seen only one other
movie way back when there was a satellite channel called XXX (it dealt
with
a private eye unraveling a case) that actually had a proper plot and was
enjoyable. All the others were grunting and puffing and blowing and
whatnot. There's only so many times you can watch a blonde bimbo faking
'it'.
This movie caught my eye, and I migrated to it, allowing him to wander the
shop. He noticed (how hard was it not too? grins. I was actually
interested
in something, lol(!) in the video section!) and came over, buying the
slightly used copy for me. We took it home and I loved it. Here was a
"Porno" with a plot. I wasn't sure it even classified as porno, but I use
the word loosely.
The librarian was a character I could identify with. Alice rejected her
boyfriend's advances. She was not comfortable with her own sexuality and
prudish in her comments. Bill went away, and she continued to check in
books. The White Rabbit ran through the library (one book, if you notice
closely, I believe (it's been ten years since I saw the movie) was by
Lewis
C.) and Alice, for that same reason that propels teenagers to run into the
woods when a chainsaw wielding maniac is behind them rather than towards
populated areas, follows. It's the best way to get the plot forward.
Alice
finds herself in Wonderland.
I barely recall all the details, but I do remember clearly the swim in the
lake, and how she was "dried" off. I liked how they got Humpty Dumpty Up
again, the Mad Hatter's size of member being on his hat to wear it
proudly,
and the brother sister team of Dum and Dee (which did disturb me
slightly--then again, they could have been husband wife, but I never could
tell no matter how many times I watched it). The woman on the knight who
told Alice go away and find your own Knight (What's a A Nice Girl Like You
Doing on a Knight Like This?).
The part that really caught my attention when I watched it about a year or
so later was one of the cards (3 of hearts, I think) who resembled my ex's
current wife exactly! We couldn't help but tease her about being in the
movie! The King of Hearts was interesting, and the Queen was even more so.
Due to the openness of the forum, I can't go into details, just say it was
"orgy" based and we'll leave it at that!
When we split up, I was allowed to take the video--he knew I liked it--but
in the time since it's been lost in borrowing. Someday I'll find another
copy.
Btw, if anyone could tell me offlist what scene was cut from the Amazon
version, I'd really appreciate it.
I heartily recommend this movie for the over 18 crowd. It was soft,
sweet,
and really 70's, but I liked it immensely.
***** out of 5.

Music, Lewis Carroll, and Excessive Nudity... Delicious!, 9 August 2007
![]()
Author:
gavin6942 from United States
Alice enters in a world of wonder... but not the kind of wonder that
you remember as a kid. The Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Queen and
others (even Tweedledee and Tweedledum) show Alice some things about
her body -- and other people's bodies -- that might be quite wonderful.
A tale of love and lust the likes you've never seen.
Kristine DeBell appears as Alice. I must say, by 1970s standards, this
may be the most attractive adult actress of her day. I believe this is
her only film before moving on to mainstream work, but it was pretty
much the best possible one she could have chosen (my love for all
things Alice is no secret). Even better than "Fairy Tales" (which isn't
really pornography, so, much).
The songs are cheesy, but fit the theme of the movie. One song, "What's
a Girl Like You Doing on a Knight Like This?" was pretty funny, and the
others had similar themes going. The trial towards the end was well
scripted, and fit very nicely into the world of Alice. The logic and
humor were definitely accounted for.
What more can you say about a film like this? All I know is, for people
who are used to adult films where it's just a 30-second lead-in to the
sex, this one is going to overload you with plot and music. But,
personally, I think there's something very special about this film and
I hope it gets a nice DVD release with things touched up and special
features (if that's even possible). I can see this being a cult film.

Adults only retelling of the Lewis Carroll tale is a great deal of fun, 24 November 2006
![]()
Author:
dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York
Adult version of the classic Lewis Carroll tale is much better than you might expect. Here Alice is a virginal librarian who falls down the rabbit hole and learns to love sex and her own self image. Made at the time when adult films were creative endeavors with plots instead of just a series of sex scenes, this is a good looking little movie more akin to the low budget films of its day. Despite what you may think this film actually has a good script with funny jokes and good songs. Its an naughty little tale for adults. If you're wondering whether or not my recommendation is a good one or not consider that the film was pretty much only available in its non-hardcore version for the better part of the last three decades simply because the film stands up with out the sex, which is how I first saw the film years ago on cable TV. The relatively recent home video release on DVD put back the sex (in horribly grainy inserted clips) which makes it clear the removal of the shots was the best choice all around. If you're an open minded adult with a taste for something spicy I can heartily recommend this little film as a nice diversion.

Fun to watch, tame by today's standards., 1 September 2003

Years ago I saw the box for Alice In Wonderland in a local video shop. I remembered those blue eyes on the cover. After I saw the Big Brawl, I went back to rent the movie, but it was gone. It took me 18 years to get an X-rated cut, and it was worth the wait. The actors look very 1970s...a bit scrawny/decrepit with a lot of hair, but the story is actually entertaining. Nothing like musical numbers in the middle of a porn movie. And there was something special about Kristine DeBell. She is able to project a sort of wholesomeness in the middle of a sex scene. I thought she was great in her appearance on Night Court also. It is a shame that her career never really blossomed.

A Porno-Musical? Yes, and a very enjoyable one!, 9 March 2005

Author:
Armando Mariani from Mexico
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The first time I saw "Alice in Wonderland an X-rated Musical Comedy", was in the early '80 in a Movie-Theater in N.Y. City with some friends. I remember we actually enjoyed it very much, although we were left wondering why all the "goodies" were covered by in various forms shaped colored patches and why the movie was suddenly jumping from one scene to the next one, leaving us guessing...what we just missed. Obviously it was the soft-core edited (chopped) version, which left me with the desire to watch it again soon, but in its original integral version. Well, more then 20 years went by, during which I forgot all about this movie and, only a few days ago, by sheer chance, I stumbled upon a heavily used VHS copy (which had seen better times: a bit washed-out colors, scratchy sound and a few flaws), but guess what? It's the original uncut version and, this time, I really had a ball! Humor, Musical and Porn may sound an awkward combination but, in this case, it really works and, unlikely the big majority of boring porn-flicks nowadays invading our screens, this is a really amusing and entertaining sex fantasy, which will not disappoint you. The direction is clever, the swift editing makes the movie fly like a bird, all the familiar characters are lovable or just plain funny, all the actors seem having a good time, the songs are catchy (worth mentioning the one about "growing up" sung by Alice at the beginning of the movie and the hilarious "What's a nice girl like you doing on a Knight like this"), the dance numbers are well choreographed and staged (amazingly energetic Terry Hall proves that she can "also" dance and dances enthusiastically her guts away...Don't worry, she also does what she was best known for...), the acting, the singing, the set, the costumes are of quality level and then...there is Kristine "Blue Eyes" DeBell, in the first starring role of her career and (oh boy!) she indeed has a few H.C. sequences! Personally I think they are absolutely not distasteful, on the contrary, they are spontaneous and quite arousing. She is young and (ohhh!) so very pretty; with the help of her new friends in Wonderland, she discovers her body and her sexuality so, she sings, she dances and...what do you expect? She is also experimenting sex! The closing sequence, when she finally makes love to her boy-friend, is exceptionally well photographed and directed and is the highlight of the movie. I think her "physique du role" (the innocent blue eyes and captivating smile) and her acting ability, make those explicit sequences more then acceptable and actually highly enjoyable. There is plenty of sex going on in (this) Wonderland and everybody seems eager to "get busy" with the first available boy(s) or girl(s), which means lot of hard-core action to be seen. On the other hand, some close-up shots, clearly "spliced in", just to make the "porn-hounds" really happy, are a bit redundant for my personal taste. In general, however, the sex-action is not offensive since handled with a great deal of humor and it blends almost seamlessly with the music, the dances and the comedy. If you think you and your partner can handle graphic sex, watch it together. Take my word, you will have an hour and a half of very good time (perhaps also an after-show extra action...) This is "Adult Entertainment" so be careful, don't leave this video around or among other kid's videos. If your 10 years old can put his hands on it, he might amuse himself, but you will be forced to provide embarrassing explanations about the reasons why "this" Alice behaves quite differently from the one he red about in Lewis Carroll novel or he watched on the Disney's video. I bet, you will not forget this "one-of-a-kind" very soon. It's a real shame that they don't mak'em like that anymore...! I give it a 9 out of 10.

tuneful and just sexy enough, 11 January 2007
![]()
Author:
christopher-underwood from Greenwich - London
What can you possibly say? This is the uncut hardcore, musical Alice! It works too with a large energetic cast seemingly enjoying themselves to the hilt and whilst one could wish for a re-mastered version, I guess we are lucky to even have this video transfer. Pretty much a delight throughout. There are a couple of slightly off moments but this could have been embarrassing all through and it certainly is not. It also could have been and today would have been too camp. No, a very fine effort that is amusing, tuneful and just sexy enough. Fine performances particularly the Kristine DeBell in the lead and was that an unaccredited Richard Prior as the prone Knight being vigorously (if discreetly) ridden?

Now THIS is porn!, 12 February 2006
![]()
Author:
Mistletoe_massage-1 from United States
This is what porn used to be, this is a true classic. I mean, it is an x-rated musical based on an actual book! There is a real plot to it and how many x-rated movies can boast that these days? This belongs in an exclusive short-list of true pornographic movie classics, including Debby Does Dallas, Deep Throat, and Behind the Green Door. I think the problem with "pornographic movies" these days is that it's all about the "pornographic" and not about the "movie". Alice in Wonderland has graphic depictions of sex, sure, but it is actually telling a story at the same time. Not one of the typical "Oh, Mr. Police Man, don't write me a ticket" plots, this takes it another step further and makes it a musical! Fabulous! If you want to see an example of "good" porn, this is one of the best.
