About this product

Product Information

Hal Ashby's film of Woody Guthrie's autobiography, BOUND FOR GLORY, recounts the protest singer's life starting when he's a young man with a wife and two children, trying to find work as a sign painter in the Dust Bowl-ravaged Texas of the 1930s. He leaves his wife, Mary (Melinda Dillon), with her family and, like thousands of others, rides the rails to California. Along the way he sees the brutal treatment of men by the railroad's hired thugs before being thrown into a hard life in the migrant workers camps of the San Fernando Valley. He begins to write songs about everything he's seen and joins Ozark Bule on the radio, not just singing about union organizing, but actually going to meetings and brawling with union-busting goons. When the radio station management, as a result of pressure from its advertisers, tells Woody--who's now attracting a following with his protest songs and ballads about the lives of oppressed people--that he can't do those songs, he gives up the radio program and decides to ride the rails to New York to seek a larger audience for his music. David Carradine, as Guthrie, does his own singing, giving an intimacy to the songs that might have been lost by dubbing. The award-winning cinematography by Haskell Wexler captures both the bleakness of the Great Depression and the beautiful grandeur of America, exactly what Guthrie expressed in his songs.

    Today I rec'd my 1st order from this excellent seller & must say it was a very positive buying experience. The item arrived very quickly in mint new condition & very well-packaged. I hadn't seen this movie before, & obviously haven't had time to view it yet as it just arrived, so I can't review its content. However, I've become a huge fan of Margot Robbie in her role as Harley Quinn, so I'm anticipating another of her performances.

  • Deportee

    In the middle of the bio of Woody Guthrie his character is singing the ballad of 28 Mexican workers who were being deported from Oakland, Calif to Mexico when their plane crashed in Coalinga, Ca. The Mexicans were buried in a mass grave with no markers in the Catholic cemetery in Fresno, Ca and this was all brought to lite when writer Tim Z. Hernandez was doing research for his classic book Manana Means Heaven and then he wrote his second book entitled "All they will call you is Deportee." This is a little part of the movie and I was surprised they included it in the movie but it shows the depth of Woodies ballads. I added this DVD in the Chicano Research Center under deportation and Mexican farm workers.

  • great movie explaining an american experience

    i thought this was a very realistic portrayal of challenges faced by americans during the dust bowl years, and a fair tribute to those living during these times, i found David Carradine’s performance to be very sensitive
