The early 1970s were a great time for American movies, but one segment of the Hollywood population wasn’t benefiting: actresses. The scarcity of roles for women was such that in 1975 there was speculation that Marilyn Hassett might necessarily be ...read the complete Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore movie review at filmcritic.com (Jake Euker)

While filming "The Exorcist" Warner Brothers contacted Ellen Burstyn about starring in another film for the studio. She found the script for "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and fell in love with the lead character. In the early '70's it was very hard ...

"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" tells the story of a woman who attempts to forge her own path following her husband's sudden death. The general concept of a woman having her own career and not just being a housewife certainly isn't as radical today as ...

This is one of my favorite films and I am very excited that it has finally been released on DVD; Scorsese's style really shines through on this early achievement! I have waited so long for this film to be released on DVD that I was a bit disappointed ...

Ever since I got a DVD player, a number of years ago, the one movie title, I have been looking in vain for, is the wonderful, 1974 comedy/drama, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". Now, with the recent treasure trove of DVD releases of Director, Martin ...
