Americana (film)
Americana is a 1983 American drama film starring, produced, edited and directed by David Carradine.
The screenplay and story, written by Richard Carr, was based on a portion of the 1947 novel, "
The Perfect Round", by Henry Morton Robinson.
The novel's setting was originally post-World War II, but the screenplay involved the post-war experiences of a Vietnam War veteran, obsessed with restoring an abandoned carousel.
In 1981, the film won The People's Choice Award at the Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
Financing the film himself, Carradine shot most of the footage for the film, which was co-produced by Skip Sherwood, in 1973 with a band of 26 people, mostly his family and friends, over the course of 18 days.
Problems with financing and distribution kept the film from being released until 1983.
The film was well received by audiences, but met with primarily negative criticism.
