Trivia
Writer, Producer, and Director Jonathan Miller explained that the reason that none of the actors or actresses (even those playing non-human characters) wore costumes aside from Victorian period dress, was that he thought it was ridiculous to get big name stars to play parts (as he did in this movie and MGM had done in Alice in Wonderland (1933)) and then cover them up in big costume animal heads so they were unrecognizable.

Goofs
In the scenes with the Mock Turtle, his legs are crossed in all the long shots, but in close-up shots, his legs are in a completely different position; without there being enough time to have changed them from one shot and another.

Crazy credits
The "cast in order of appearance" is slightly incorrect. The cast lists the Mock Turtle (Sir John Gielgud), the Gryphon (Malcolm Muggeridge) and the Executioner (David Battley) in that order. In fact the Executioner appears first in the scenes with the King and Queen of Hearts, and then the Gryphon appears in order to take Alice to the Mock Turtle, who appears last.

A Different Play on the Alice in Wonderland Story

A fascinatingly, surreal and psychedelic version of the Alice in Wonderland story. Shot in a Gothic black and white style, the cinematography is very well done and still holds up 50 years later.

The cast is very very good, particularly Anne-Marie Malik in her one and only role of Alice. She's petulant and outspoken, but also very reserved and examining. She's adorable, and her delivery of lines add to the dreamlike quality of the movie. She makes the whole movie worth watching.

Filmed as a TV play it's surprisingly well made, thank the BBC for that, they do some exceptional work.

Jonathan Miller's Alice in Wonderland is worth viewing if you can find it.
