Hal Ashby (The Last Detail, Being There) directed this lyrical and affecting 1976 biography of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. David Carradine gives a powerful performance as the traveling Depression-era vagabond whose music affected generations. Guthrie is portrayed as an earnest soul whose passion and empathy for the working class spurs him to inspirational heights. Ronny Cox (Deliverance, Beverly Hills Cop) plays a union organizer who sees the value in Guthrie's words and music and persuades him to put his music to good use for the people struggling to earn a living wage. Featuring Melinda Dillon as Guthrie's wife, this easygoing travelogue conveys an authentic sense of period Americana and won Academy Awards for Haskell Wexler's cinematography as well as for the score based on Guthrie's own music. Bound for Glory is an important film to see for anyone in love with the origins of folk music and interested in its place in the 20th century. --Robert Lane

My parents survived the depression and the dustbowl, both of them moving as children with their families across the country at that time. They were spellboundby the acting, the props, and scenery, but most of all by the fantastic music that was played throughout the movie. I learned a lot just watching it with them.

My son loves Woody Gutherie, and so do I. I got this for his Birthday and he loves it. Very well made. Great music also.

Hal Ashby made a wonderful film about Woody Guthrie. It is still a wonder today. It centers on Woody's wondering lifestyle and his experience with Oakies during the Great Depression. Woody was an Oakie himself. The music Woody wrote came out of his experiences. David Carradine never had a great role to play and was never better. It's too bad he didn't win a Best Picture Oscar. I highly recommend this film.

David Carredine does a fine job of portraying Woody Guthrie, who was a dog of a man. He ran out on his wife and children in a time when folks were really starving in our fat land. Some one else has to see to his family in a time before we had welfare to assist people who were in need. He went out to California and got involved in labour unions, after seeing the shoddy way the incoming oakie's and other folks who had to migrate west, were treated. Got beaten up, run out of town etc. Took up with other ... Read More

The late Hal Ashby was one of the great maverick directors of the Seventies. After making his mark as an editor("In the Heat of the Night") Ashby helmed many offbeat and personal films. My personal faves are "Harold and Maude" and "Being There". I'm still waiting for his directorial debut, "The Landlord", to become available on DVD. "Bound for Glory" was a very enigmatic film for me. I admired how Ashby depicts the breadth of the suffering during the Great Depression from the dust parched Texas landscapes ... Read More
