7:00 PM: Bound For Glory (1976): Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, winner of 2 Oscars; including Best Cinematography, Haskell Wexler (who also won an Oscar for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and Oscar-nominated credits include Whos' Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Matewan) and Best Music, directed by Oscar winner Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude, The Last Detail, Being There). A young Woody Guthrie (David Carradine) leaves his wife (Melinda Dillon) as The Dust Bowl overtakes his native Oklahoma in the early 1930s and he struggles to join the great westward migration to California. When he meets singer and union agitator Ozark Bule (Ronny Cox), Guthrie finds his populist political voice -- but at the expense of his personal life. A beautiful (though fictionalized) biopic and a historic California film!
