: No, it isn't "Alice", and it's a great movie, so please note the real title.
: It's called "Dreamchild", and was directed in 1985 by Gavin Millar. Ian Holm,
: one of the finest and most unsung actors ever ("Alien", "Brazil", "Another
: Woman", "Chariots Of Fire", "Greystoke", "Time Bandits") plays Lewis Carroll/
: Charles Dodgson, and Coral Browne plays Alice Liddell.
Well, I don't have the answer to your particular question.
However, if you are also interested in knowing more of Lewis Carroll's
life, then "SHADOWLANDS" is the movie you would want to take a glimpse
at. Carroll is played by Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger as his wife.
Quite a dramatic and sentimental flix.

I may be wrong, but I thing _Shadowlands_ is about C.S. Lewis, NOT Lewis
Carroll.

What does "Shadowlands" have to do with the life of Lewis Carroll, other than
it takes place in Oxford? Are you mixed Lewis Carroll with C. S. Lewis?

You're absolutely right. There was a wonderful film out about
8 - 10 years ago about the original Alice and Lewis Carroll. I
don't remember the name of it, though. Does anyone here know
the title?

The title is "Dreamchild", and it starred Ian Holm as Carroll and Coral
Browne (who was Mrs. Vincent Price) as the elderly Alice. Featured were
creatures created by Jim Henson Productions' creature shop.
