Description:
Revised script for the 1976 film, "Bound for Glory," directed by Hal Ashby, based on the autobiography of Woody Guthrie, written for the screen by Robert Getchell, and starring Robert Getchell (screenwriter); David Carradine, Ronny Cox, Melinda Dillon, and Randy Quaid. SIGNED by David Carradine on the title page: "This land is your land / David Carradine / [drawing of the yin and yang symbol]."
Unsurprisingly, director Ashby's version of Woody Guthrie is a complex one, showing the legendary proletarian singer and activist as a man with contradictory virtues and faults. Drawing from a pivotal few years detailed in Guthrie's autobiography of the same name, the film follows Guthrie's initial migration west to escape the dust bowl, his discovery of the plight of migrant workers, his important encounter with singer Ozark Bole, and his subsequent (and problematic) reunion with his family. Winner of the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Music, and nominated for 4 others, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay.
