"Bound for Glory," Woody Guthrie's story and songs, on TV, Saturday, July 12, 2014

.
"BOUND FOR GLORY," chronicling the early life of WOODY GUTHRIE, won two Oscars and was a 1976 Best Picture Oscar nominee (as "the quiet film" in a year which included "Rocky," "Network," "All the President's Men," and "Taxi Driver.")

It's on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) today, 2:15-5 pm Pacific, 5:15-8 pm Eastern.

It stars David Carradine, Ronny Cox, Melinda Dillon, Randy Quaid, and lots of Woody's songs in the context of the Dustbowl, the Depression, ridin' the rails as a hobo, and the struggles for workers' rights.

Here's the scene with the performance of "Union Maid" ~
