I love You, Alice B. Toklas

[squeapler]

Does that box actually say "Pillsbury"? I'm surprised Pillsbury would let its logo be used in a drug movie in those days. Although I'm also sure a lot of potheads bought Pillsbury products when they had the bread!

UTM ENG364! We're theoretical stoners here! I love Mark Crimmins for showing this in lecture!!!

over the years I have grown to appreciate just how good peter sellers was as an actor. Years ago I really had no opinion of him but as an adult re-watching alot of his films he was top-notch. He is unusual in this because even though he is a comedien he doesn't actually cause the comedy in this movie....."he reacts to the commical situations around him"......and it is his reactions that are so funny

Peter Sellers: "I'm so hip...IT HURTS!"

HAhAHAHAHAHA What a great movie!

[MsPysanky]

"Don't say bathroom!" OMG this movie is hilarious. I have it on VHS. Looked for it on DVD and haven't be able to get a copy. This move is a priceless classic.

@MsPysanky Your post made me LOL thinking of Jo Van Fleet- she was hysterical in that scene!

[MrReallyHard]

She was married to Ryan O'Neal. She is one hot chick and this movie is the best. The tattoo on her leg was done by none other than Andy Warhol. It's all so grooovy.

[dougcsamo]

Guess what the secret ingredient is? (it's not oregano)

[zzzzhen]

[brooksie19]

[Bluemerlin32]

[Mojosbigstick]

I love this movie - it's so hopeful. He doesn't know what he wants, but he's going to keep looking....

[Tifflet]

I vaguely remember seeing this film as a kid long long time ago, and the song stuck in my head. Thanks for all the info added to the comments, much appreciated.

[dimmiewitson]

Miss Young is my dream girl. I was born too late.

[RJRanke]

To dimmiewitson...Leigh Taylor-Young is my special dream-girl as well.I have followed her life and career ever since Peyton Place(Oct.1966-July 1967)and have seen many movies she was in-including this film,Soylent Green and Secret Admirer.She was great in Picket Fences(1993-95)when she won a well-deserved Emmy.I have made contact with her.(She's got her own site.)She has sent me two autographed pictures.She is involved in many charities and has two grand-daughters by her only son.

[myrecordcollection]

Is the Blades of Grass song "I Love You, Alice B Toklas" in this movie, or did they just take the idea from the movie?

[friendlier]

The Harpers Bizarre version of "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas" was commissioned at the time of the making of the film. Blades of Grass recorded their version soon after that.

[cutis1000]

What is so amazing about this film is that our country and culture has become so conservative since then!!! My goodness. To show a film of professionals (of various ages) getting high and all in good fun, to think like something like that could be in a commercial film today?? It just isn't made anymore. We live in such an anti-drug hysteria culture. It's AWFUL!!! PLEASE BRING BACK THE '60s!!!!!!!

[PolemicArts]

@cutis1000 have you not seen superbad, knocked up, and so on and son and son

[cutis1000]

@PolemicArts Yes, and when I wrote the post, those films hadn't come out yet. 2 years can make a difference you know.

[cutis1000]

@PolemicArts Also, the films you cite show YOUNG people getting stoned. Alice B. Toklas shows a much older generation getting stoned and that, in and of itself, was almost unheard of to show in a major motion picture!

[INTJewel]

"Foley was a Catholic, not an Indian!"

wunnerful

[clipversandt]

the best film ever

[cattathat]

I'm so hip it hurts!

I love Alice B Tolkas too!

[RJRanke]

This shows you don't have to be Gertrude Stien to love Alice B.Tolkas.(Chuckle!)

[JJRocker9]

I *love* this film.

What dialog...

"Hope she's not a dyke."

"Foley was a Catholic, not an Indian."

[DonaldMcKinney]

It's a pity you don't get films like this anymore!! :P

[djcabhappy]

love the music!

[jackdollhandler]

"i'll give you the feather or the paint..."

[BrettRacheal]

A great movie, tune in drop out (Peter Sellers rules)

[skyfire18]

Thankyou very much, i love this movie especially the bad trip sequence at the end where his parents pop out of the sleeping bag.
