Wildwood Flower

As the Carter Family sings "Wildwood Flower" an elaborate embroidered border is created around an image of a nude woman riding slowly toward the camera, producing a kind of cameo in motion. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Canadian Film-Makers' Distribution Centre in 2011.
