I was in the 8th Grade in the Fall of 1969 when Alice’s Restaurant was released. The film was not an oddity then. It was immensely popular and definitely spoke to that generation.
The Arlo Guthrie song was in my piano book in the mid 1990's (my teacher was a baby boomer).
My sense is that this film and Little Big Man were relatively big hits in Denmark (if not on the level of Bonnie and Clyde). Not sure about The Chase.
@MichaelB + "Match Point"
HahaI Very good. I myself had NO anticipation back then and still was disappointed. But then again, his next "serious" one, "Cassandra's Dream" is just as lifeless yet better/harsher, if only for Farrell and the scene in the park/rain when the uncle sets the two brothers up for murder.
Allen, the "unfunny" films:
1. Wonder Wheel (glory, glory to Storaro and the best actress Allen ever had)
2. Another Woman
Cassandra's Dream
September
Interiors
Match Point
Irrational Man
Blue Jasmine
Coup de Chance
