Anyone here ever see the 1969 movie version of Arlo Guthrie's song "Alice's Restaurant?" It was directed by Arthur Penn, and Guthrie starred as himself. Pete Seeger appeared in it too.

I saw it. I liked it a lot. Arlo Guthrie playing harmonica in that movie beside his dad's (Woody Guthrie) death bed was one of my inspirations for taking up the harmonica.

If I remember correctly, Pete Seeger was in Woody Guthrie's hospital room with Arlo in the scene I referred to earlier?
