You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant, but the only thing music icon Arlo Guthrie needs is a good Thanksgiving dinner. After he gets his fill, Guthrie's run-in with the law over a trumped-up littering charge leads to a unique way of avoiding the Vietnam War draft. This film by Arthur Penn is based on Guthrie's song "Alice's Restaurant" and co-stars James Broderick, Patricia Quinn, Pete Seeger and Lee Hays.
