Carny (1980)
1994 • E12 Jul 16, 1994
Carny was directed in 1980 by Robert Kaylor. We will say no more about him, since he directs in a TV-movie style which is overlit and thoroughly predictable. Let’s talk instead about the second lead actor, co-author and producer of the film, Robbie Robertson. Robbie Robertson was the founder and songwriter of one of the seminal American bands of the ‘60s and '70s, The Band. I know that out there are adherents of all sorts of other sixties groups.
