Trivia

Last film of Fulton Mackay.

Share this

Two of Liddell children who also spent time with Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) are not mentioned, Alice's older brother Harry and her baby sister Rhoda. Around the time when she met Hargreaves (the man she later married) there was another edition to the family, the last child Violet.

The scene where Alice is sitting to be photographed dressed in a Chinese dress is not true. The girl who actually sat for that picture was Alexandra (Xie) Kitchin, described as Lewis Carroll's favorite model.

Goofs

During the tea dance Jack and Lucy waltz to "I Only Have Eyes For You." The scene is set in 1932, but the song was not written until 1934.
