Wonderland, aka The Fruit Machine, made in 1988, is my fave movie of all time. I did my uni dissertation on Frank Clarke, the writer, an incredibly sweet and witty guy, who based the character of Eddie on himself at the age of 16. Frank also wrote the screenplays for Letter to Brezhnev and Blonde Fist. Emile Charles is the brother of the rather more famous (if less talented) Craig Charles, and also appeared in the movie Like It Is. Tony Forsyth worked with the Royal Shakespeare company for a while. ... Read More

I have seen this hilarious documentary of Levittown and wish to buy the video. The jacket photo is correct, but the initial reviews I have read apply to another film entirely!

Great movie, a must see with excellent editing...wish to own!

The film "Wonderland" (aka "The FruitMachine") is a surprisingly dippy, imaginative romp involving twogay teenaged boys who happen to witness a gangland murder and are forced to flee Liverpool for Brighton. The film takes many inventive turns, several of which involve Eddie's dream lover, a man-dolphin hybrid who actually appears at crucial moments in the film to save Eddie and his partner, Michael. There are many subplots and colorful supporting characters, and the ending, albeit sad, is inevitable. ... Read More
