Today, Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy is viewed as a cult classic. It represents a specific moment in film history when the line between Hollywood and the Adult industry was blurred. It was a film that couples went to see together in theaters; it was "porno chic."
The performances range from the professionally dubbed to the hilariously off-key. It is said that director William B. Norton (who also wrote the score under the pseudonym “Norman Simon”) forced the actors to record their vocals live on set, rather than in a studio. The result is a raw, warbling sound that adds to the film’s uneasy, dreamlike quality—like hearing a nursery rhyme while you have a fever. Alice In Wonderland An X Rated Musical Fantasy 1976
