Comedy drama starring Arlo Guthrie, Pat Quinn

1969: Arlo, a young folk singer, is determined to avoid the military draft. But, having found sanctuary at a haven for drop-outs centred on the wistful and loving figure of the beautiful Alice, Arlo and his friends are arrested as litterbugs. His subsequent criminal record may just save him from being sent to Vietnam.
This film adaptation of Arlo Guthrie's talking blues song The Alice's Restaurant Massacre provides a portrait of America at a very specific time in its history.
