For anyone who is interested, the film 'Diary Of A Mad Housewife' (1970), which features the first film appearance from the Alice Cooper Group, is being released by PowerHouse / Indicator films on July 18

"Superbly directed by Frank Perry (The Swimmer, Play It as It Lays), with a scathing screenplay by Eleanor Perry (David and Lisa, Ladybug Ladybug), Diary of a Mad Housewife tells the story of Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgress, The Fury, Pale Rider) a frustrated housewife trapped in an unhappy marriage to an insufferably controlling, status-obsessed bore (Richard Benjamin, Catch-22). Tina seeks solace in a fling with an abusive lover, the arrogant writer Georg Prager (Frank Langella, Dracula), who treats her like a sex object, leading to therapy and further unhappiness.

A caustic deconstruction of male chauvinism, Diary of a Mad Housewife was a huge critical hit, earning its female lead an Academy Award nomination upon its release. The Perrys’ film is presented here in both its theatrical cut, and a long-unseen alternative TV version."

Very nice, now let's hope for some extended parts of the AC group, but the sound will be better.

The blu-ray was just released.

Back in the 80's I found a copy of this on Beta in a delete bin at a corner store and immediately scooped it up. The party scene was included on my Alice Cooper rarities compilation tape. Would love to see this included any extended AC material but since ACG is not the focus of the movie at all, I doubt we'll see more Alice.
Awesome to have what little there is, as it's from an under-documented period in the band's history
