This is must watch for all musical and fun lovers.

Thanks for the show! Im so sad...

Never seen before kind of standup comedy. You can't stop watching this video once!!

I wanted to like it but the film didn't let me. I can see that this film was made by a fan the European cinema that I love, but there is a difference between trying to make something similar and making a bad copy.

It's ironic that when Donald Sutherland walks onto the MGM lot in this weird little arthouse film that there is a banner for the musical remake of MGM's "Goodbye Mr. Chips", and while he's having a conversation with one of his daughters, there is a Jean Harlow movie on in the background.

Fresh off of his breakout success Bob, Ted, Carol, and Alice, writer/ director Alex Mazursky made this close to the bone story of a hot new director caught up in a similar predicament. We never find out what Alex Morrison ( Donald Sutherland) settles on but this is the path Maz took and he went straight off the cliff.

Alex in Wonderland (1970) ** (out of 4) Paul Mazursky's second feature has pretty much been forgotten about. It centers on a film director (Donald Sutherland) who scores a hit with his first film and is now struggling to make a follow-up.

Beauty lies in simplicity. Excellent all-round performance.
