Johnny Cash: The Man, His World, His Music (1969)

Directed by Robert Elfstrom

“The warm, wonderful full-length motion picture about the man who became A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME!”

Documentary, Music · 1h 34m

In this classic 1969 documentary, the Man in Black is captured at his peak, the first of many in a looming roller-coaster career. Fresh on the heels of his Folsom Prison album, Cash reveals the dark intensity and raw talent that made him a country music star and cultural icon. Director Robert Elfstrom got closer than any other filmmaker to Cash, who is seen performing with his new bride June Carter Cash, in a rare duet with Bob Dylan, and behind the scenes with friends, family and aspiring young musicians.
