Basically last night (3/11/2015) I watched Alice in Wonderland the 1933 version with Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle.
The film is a disaster, although Grant doesn't disgrace himself and the Griffin ( a long forgetten actor) gives a good performance. Only Edna Mae Oliver (the Red Queen), Gary Cooper (the White Knight), W.C. Fields(Humpty Dumpty) Edward Everett Horton (Mad Hatter) and Charles Ruggles (March Hare), do themselves proud. For the rest, including the actress playing Alice, it's amature night in Hollywood.
At least in Dixie they have the excuse of not being professionals.
Still, what strange weird kids films do you guys remember? Weird concepts that don't work. Bizaarly miscast actors (myself I'd never have cast Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, the man was a trained Acrobat, a natural for the Griffin). Or just strangness throughout.
Please, give me a list of weirdo filds for children.
