This film is a musical hardcore porn version of Lewis Carroll's classic story 'Alice in Wonderland', and so as you can probably imagine, it's a little bit strange! That being said, Carroll's Wonderland is ripe for fusing with a 'sexual awakening' plot line, and really I'm surprised it took until 1976 for someone to make a film like this! Bud Townsend's film was obviously shot on a very low budget and the film has to rely on it's numerous distractions in order to stay interesting; and these range from the silly costumes, even sillier songs, and of course; a few hardcore sex scenes. The film is not too far removed from the original story really and naturally we focus a young girl named Alice. She's care-free and dresses below her age, much to the dismay of her boyfriend. It's not long before a rabbit turns up and she follows him down the rabbit hole (after drinking a shrinking potion) and ends up in Wonderland, where she meets the usual assortment of characters; although in this film, they're all a bit more interested in sex than they were in the original story.
The film really is very unprofessional and the effect is not too far removed from a school play. The costumes are ridiculous and the acting is terrible throughout. The film also features a plethora of songs that are very silly and helps to increase the ridiculousness of the film. However, despite all the problems; this version of Alice in Wonderland does have a lot of charm and is at least a fun viewing. There's a fair few hardcore sex scenes; but the focus of it actually seems to be more on the plot line, and all the sex is entwined in the story, with Lewis Carroll's characters the inspiration for most of it! The film apparently underwent some cuts during its lifetime and the version I saw professed to have put everything that was cut back in; although the film still only runs at about eighty minutes and fifteen of them are taken up by the final sex scene! Overall, this is certainly an interesting film that will no doubt be a target for most fans of cult cinema; but it is a very amateur production and even rated purely as a hardcore porn film; it falls down compared to others in the genre. Still...I don't regret seeing it.
