Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Released in 1974 Featured well-known actress Ellen Burstyn Directed by Martin Scorsese It was his first Hollywood film and his second feature length film (after Mean Streets)

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Actress Ellyn Burstyn was instrumental in the development of this film. She was involved with the women’s movement and wanted a project that was relevant to her life and to the lives of women she knew.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore She was asked who she wanted to direct the picture. She screened an early copy of Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets. She wanted the “grittiness” of Scorsese’s style because she felt the script was too “slick.” Burstyn later claimed she wished she would have taken a “producer” credit since she was so instrumental to the development of the project.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore The film inspired a spin-off television show called “Alice” with Linda Lavin in the title role and Vic Tayback reprising his role of “Mel.”

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore The television show was set in Phoenix. There is still a “Mel’s Diner” in Phoenix to this day. It is located on Grand Ave in Central Phoenix.

Nostalgia, Shattered Dreams and Gender Roles in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore In William Johnson’s film review, he speaks of the importance of Nostalgia both as a narrative device and a stylistic construct. Alice’s nostalgia for her idealized dream life of being a singer parallels director Scorsese’s nostalgia for classical Hollywood Cinema. Alice’s life options are limited after a series of conflicts nearly shatter her spirit.

Nostalgia, Shattered Dreams and Gender Roles in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore The closest Alice will ever get to returning home to Monterey and becoming a professional singer is the Monterey hotel in Tucson.

Nostalgia, Shattered Dreams and Gender Roles in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Some feminist scholars argued that the film was not feminist because the lead character does not end up exhibiting control over her life. She ends up working as a waitress in a diner, serving and cleaning-up after mostly male clientele, not a large shift from her life as a housewife.
