Desc: The Spirit of 66: Route 66: Directed by David Bartholomew. The pilot episode of a proposed 10-part series to eventually cover the entire route, The Spirit of 66 focuses on the natives along the way-- their stories, recollections, tall tales, anecdotes, and folklore; as well as on the experiences of those who have been drawn here on their own personal, sometimes spiritual, quests. Highlights include: *Bobby Troup as you've never seen him-- singing his own version of Get your Kicks (on Route 66), resurrecting memories, and winding through treelined asphalt streets behind the wheel of a '41 Buick convertible. *over 200 proud hometown folks " - standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona..." singing along to Jackson Browne's Take it Easy, the song that put them on the map. *an historic first look at the caves of Two Guns, Arizona, battleground of Navajo and Apache - the spirit of whom, no doubt, perpetuate the lore of this eery place. *and chats with people along the way - in cafe booths and barber chairs, from behind the wheels of vintage cars, or atop glittery soda fountain stools - historians, longtime residents, and curious newcomers alike-- all sharing a spirit of adventure, a hearty appetite, and the value of a good story. *50 min., DVD, NTSC *Winner: Silver Award/News and Documentary Directing, Houston Int'l Film Festival *"Hands down, the best program on Route 66 that I've seen!"-- Bobby Troup.
