Guthrie’s 18 1/2-minute talking-blues classic has become a Thanksgiving day standard. It also inspired the full-length feature film Alice’s Restaurant, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Guthrie himself, which hit screens in 1969.
I examine Alice’s Restaurant, Easy Rider, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice in the chapter “Shaking the Cage” from 1969: The Year Everything Changed.
