Interesting. Three strands - Alice Liddell (Coral Browne) arrives in New York and gett s a lot of publicity for being Alice and her companion has a dull romance with a journalist Peter Gallaher). There's also young Alice inspiring Lewis Carroll (Ian Holm) who is a little lecherous towards her. And trippy scenes where young and old Alice have tea with characters from Alice in Wonderland - these are the best thing in the film.
This doesn't entirely work but it's made with skill.
Expensive - all those extras at the speech at the end, and scenes of people dancing. Didn't have to be.
