    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film got many negative reviews, and some theaters refused to show it. Most theaters showed a two-hour cut that was mostly concert footage. The original four-hour director's cut was first shown on European television years later.
    • Quotes
      • The Truck Driver: Why are you so much in a hurry? Is the law after you?
      • Renaldo: I am the law!
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits end with a title card reading "A Film by BOB DYLAN" directed after he is credited as writer and director. The closing credits are divided in three sections, separated by wide time gaps, played over a different artist, soul singer Hal Frazier, performing "In The Morning", a song written by Barry Gibb.
    • Alternate versions
      Originally released at 292 minutes (yes, that's almost five hours!). After dismal box office returns, Dylan shortened the film to 122 minutes removing almost all of the narrative storyline and leaving mostly concert footage.
