I’ll always associate this 1976 film biography of Woody Guthrie, starring David Carradine as the influential folksinger and composer, as much for its images as for its music. The songs, of course, are terrific, and the story of Guthrie’s riding-the-rails experiences are ready-made for a cinematic study. But Hal Ashby directed this by paying as much attention to the screen as to the soundtrack – and his cinematographer, Haskell Wexler, took the brand-new invention known as the Steadicam and captured some astoundingly evocative, impressively complicated long tracking shots.
