	Highway 61 Revisited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Highway 61 Revisited, widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever, was the sixth album released by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
		Highway 61, sometimes called the "Blues Highway," stretched from New Orleans through Memphis and from Iowa through Dylan's birthplace, Duluth, to the Canadian border.
		Years after its release, Dave Marsh wrote that Highway 61 Revisited was one of Dylan's "best albums, and [one] of the greatest in the history of rock and roll." Subsequent polls in recent years prove that it remains a fixture in the rock pantheon.

	Dual Lens - Highway 61 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The film’s journey is in a direction that most road movies don’t follow and it explores a history that most people don’t know.
		Highway 61 is a personal film, made by a small group and designed to appeal not to the lowest common denominator, but to people who share their loves.
		Highway 61 doesn’t care about those things and the scene is the film’s funniest, a unexpected collision of ideas that fit together seamlessly.

	McKellar, Donald
		His role, as a charming serial killer, was a relatively small one, but he starred in McDonald's next film, Highway 61 (1991), for which he again wrote the screenplay.
		His graduation film was Blue (1992), a short film starring CRONENBERG as a carpet manufacturer who becomes a victim of his sexual fantasies.
		This science-fiction film about the end of the world disregards most of the conventions of the genre and eschews special effects, blending understated acting and bizarre comedy to build to a moving conclusion.

	Wisconsin Death Trip - Reviews
		Watching the film, you can follow U.S. Highway 61 from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico as the Dylan song carries with it not only Highway 61 blues numbers but also the death of Bessie Smith, on Highway 61; Presley’s childhood years in public housing on Highway 61 and the assassination of the Rev. Dr.
		Highway 61 traces the spine of the nation, but by this point in the film you’re ready to acknowledge every American road as Highway 61.
		Filmed in smudgy fl and white and underscored with spiritually exalted music (everything from Arvo Part to Faure’s Requiem), they are staged as silent-movie tableaux vivants.

	Highway 61 (1991)
		Jackie Bangs arrives, claiming the body is her brother's and persuading Pokey to drive her to New Orleans for the funeral - although in reality she does not know the person and is just using the body to hide a package of cocaine to smuggle across the US border.
		As they cross the border, the journey down Highway 61 proves an unfolding history of rock'n'roll for Pokey and the two of them gradually become involved.
		Being a Canadian film it seems to hold an outsider's view of the USA - it derives a visual poetry from the desolate emptiness of the American backroad countryside.

	98.01.05: A Film and Literature Study of The African - American Migration
		This film’s purpose is to allow its subjects a chance to reflect on their childhood in the South as well as inform its viewers of factors which led to their leaving home for the North.
		This film is a documentary that traces the later migration of African-Americans to the North in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
		The second half of the film moves beyond the scope of this project in its important portrayal of the harsh reality of life in Chicago in contrast to its characterization as the “promised land.” The difficulty of industrial jobs, the cold winters, the racial tensions, and the segregation showed Chicago for what it really was.

		Highway 61 Revisited does not fit in comfortably with the other trends of its time.

		Following his time at the film centre, Don was approached by Niv Finchman of Rhombus Media to co-write a biopic on the legendary and enigmatic Glenn Gould with director Francois Girard.
		The resulting film (which he also wrote and starred in) was a funny and touching exploration of humanity in its final hours that won McKellar many awards, including the Genie's Claude Jutra Award and the Prix de la Jeunesse at the Cannes film festival.
		The seventh most important person in Canadian film (according to Shift magazine), Don still maintains residence in Toronto, where he continues to live up to Peter Lynch's description of him as "a multitask-oriented guy with so many projects on the go that it is mind-boggling".

		Highway 61, the road, is a small, two-lane, backwater road that starts near Thunder Bay, Ontario and meanders its way down the US until it ends up in New Orleans.
		As a highway, there's not a lot going for it, except for the fact that as you travel along it, you pass through most of the places that birthed American music.
		Even though the plot is nominally about a corpse, a heavy metal roadie, a Canadian barber, Satan, and a bag of cocaine, the movie really about the music that they all encounter along the way from Thunder Bay to New Orleans.

		HIGHWAY 61 is, as the title suggests, a road movie, the tale of a young couple driving from a small town in Ontario down the length of Highway 61 to New Orleans, 1500 miles to the south.
		He is especially shocked when Jackie steals the lifesavings of the Watsons, three untalented little girls and their showbiz father who travel around the country, "bringing pop to the people." The film is quirky and often funny, treating its characters in a good-natured fashion.
		The main problem is that the film is too long to sustain itself and begins to plod: the scene with the drugged-out rock stars for whom Jackie was once a roadie could have been cut with little loss.

		"Highway 61" opens up north in the Canadian hamlet of Pickerel Falls, where an earnest young man named Pokey Jones operates a barber shop and hangs out with his buddies.
		That's the setup for "Highway 61," a good-natured, oddball road comedy that travels from Ontario to Louisiana while hardly encountering anybody along the way who is not a prime candidate for one of those tabloid TV shows.
		One of the problems with a movie like this is that it has to end, which means the Satan business has to be resolved one way or another, when in fact the movie would be most comfortable just staying on the road indefinitely.
