The 1933 Film Adaptation of ALICE IN WONDERLAND is a Horrific Nightmare
Until this week, I had never watched the 1933 film adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic novel Alice in Wonderland. The film was directed by Norman Z. McLeod and it comes from the depths of the deepest, darkest, weirdest, and most horrific nightmare. It’s creepy as hell, especially with the character designs, costumes, and masks used in the movie.
In this version of the Lewis Carroll classic, “Alice (Charlotte Henry) discovers that an ordinary library mirror is actually a portal into another world. As she adjusts to her constantly changing size, thanks to some mysterious cookies, she follows a rabbit with a pocket watch, stumbles upon a deranged tea party and seeks advice from the shadowy Cheshire Cat (Richard Arlen). Later, Alice runs into Humpty Dumpty (W.C. Fields), whose unfortunate tumble sets even stranger events in motion.”
Gary Cooper also stars in the film. I included a trailer for the film below. If you’re curious to watch the whole thing, I included the full movie which was split into two videos. If you’ve never seen it before, it’s quite the experience.
