" Alice in Hollywood Land "
6 February 2014
This Alice in Wonderland film virtually takes you on a nostalgic journey amongst some of Hollywood's biggest stars of the the early 1930s. Alice falls down the rabbit hole and meets Cary Grant as Mock Turtle, Edna May Oliver as Red Queen, May Robson as the Queen of Hearts, Gary Cooper as White Knight, W.C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Edward Everett Horton as the Hatter, and many more notable stars of the day. Charlotte Henry is most delightful playing Alice and does a good job with this fast paced story that moves very quickly through " Wonderland. " The film gives an interesting take on the classic story and is fun to watch trying to spot the actors and actresses through some pretty garish make-up and their very elaborate costumes. Paramount's production of Alice will either satisfy or disappoint, but it is well worth a look if you are interested in films from the early 1930s.
