Pauline Kael, in her rave review of the film, specifically mentioned Allen’s editing as “brilliant” and wrote that the final ambush sequence is a “rag-doll dance of death…It is a horror that seems to go on for eternity, and yet it doesn't last a second beyond what it should.” ALICE'S RESTAURANT, 1969, MGM Repertory, 111 min. Dir. Arthur Penn. Arlo Guthrie's 18-minute FM radio hit, inspired by run-ins with New England law enforcement and his local draft board, becomes a freewheeling, spontaneous odyssey under Penn's direction.
