Alice's Restaurant
Every Generation Has A Story To Tell.
Directed by Arthur Penn
Produced by Elkins Entertainment
A whimsical, rambling counterculture comedy that uses a trivial littering arrest as a springboard for satirizing authority, conformity, and the generational divide of the 1960s.
After getting kicked out of college, Arlo decides to visit his friend Alice for Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner is over, Arlo volunteers to take the trash to the dump but finds it closed for the holiday, so he dumps the trash in the bottom of a ravine. This act of littering gets him arrested and sends him on a bizarre journey.
