“Criterion announced, finally, Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore will be getting a release this July. I think it's one of Scorsese's most unique films and one of his best. I suspect the new Criterion release will get it more due attention. And it's been long overdue for a release giving it the presentation it deserves, so that is all exciting news.

There's one truly remarkable, and very weird, aspect about this movie: it spawned a sitcom that ran for nine seasons on CBS. In 1980 Alice was the fourth most popular show on television. I feel this should be talked about more in daily conversations. Which is why, in April of 2021, I wrote this piece at Uproxx. But now it's been deleted from the internet, so I failed. So, here I am again, trying to bring it back.”
