ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE - DVD

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (DVD)
A film by Martin Scorsese

Ellen Burstyn puts in an Oscar®-winning performance as Alice Hyatt, a recently widowed 35-year-old woman who leaves her small town in New Mexico with her precocious young son Tommy (Alfred Lutter), determined to make a new life as a singer. When money problems force her to settle in Tucson, she takes a job in a diner and begins to fall for rancher David (Kris Kristofferson). Co-starring Diane Ladd and Harvey Keitel and featuring a delightful cameo from Jodie Foster.

Martin Scorsese's acclaimed fourth feature is one of the key films of the golden age of 1970s New Hollywood - a touching, funny and poignant tribute to the independent spirit and dreams of ordinary Americans.
