Reviews:

Superb film, a haunting and inspiring story – and worthy of seeing again after 38 years.
I saw this film in 1972 in Dublin and was knocked out. I watched it twice through in the cinema that day, never thinking that 38 years later I would never have had the chance to see this film again.

I remember it as fairly glossy in production values but moving despite that – and the music score, especially the Joan Baez theme, being absolutely perfectly matched with the story line.

I have tried for some time to obtain a copy either in VHS or DVD of this film, without success. It is amazing that it is not available, given the combined quality of this film and the earlier Elvira Madigan, let alone Bo Widerberg’s other masterpieces.

A troubadour as martyr
Bo Widenberg’s fictional biography of martyred union organizer/troubadour Joe Hill is a well-made, occasionally powerful film. As Hill, Thommy Berggren gives a towering performance. Essentially a lost soul whose consciousness is raised after traveling across the US (mostly by boxcar). Witnessing awful working conditions and many unjust police actions, Hill becomes a folk hero by putting the words of the IWW to music. How Hill finds himself facing death for murder in Utah is almost secondary to Widenberg’s expose of an America (circa 1913) where freedom did NOT ring and civil rights were violated at every turn. Berggren is excellent and the supporting cast includes Evert Anderson as Blackie, Hill’s boxcar companion, Joel Miller as one of Hill’s union compadres and Cathy Smith as the young farm girl who becomes smitten with Hill. The great acoustic guitar-driven score is by Stefan Grossman.
