wealthy businessman bill compton (played by dennis patrick) accidentally kills his daughter hippie boyfriend after an argument. panic stricken and he retreats to a bar and and meets joe curran (played by peter boyle) represent a loud mouth and angry and bigot who is bitter over how his beloved country has become. unintentionally and bill allows joe to find out that he just killed a hippie. and this is only the beginning. joe is a classic film of an unlikely friendship. a bond between two men and one of a white collar background and the other of a blue collar background. bill and joe have one thing in common and they are disgraced over how crazy the world has become. dennis patrick and peter boyle have both given very realistic portrayals of their characters. director john g. avidsen with this pre rocky effort and directs this low budget gem with the same finesse as a movie with a $100 million budget. the script is loaded with excellent character development and very snappy and realistic dialog. in spite of its strengths this film does have its weaknesses. the script falls asleep roughly 3/4 of the way through and but it wakes up just in time for the jarring climax. this film also features a very early and uninspiring performance by a 24 year old susan sarandon as bill daughter melissa and along with her hippie boyfriend frank and portrayed very blandly by patrick mc dermott. one could only be thankful that he was killed off early in the film. in spite of its few flaws this is one of those forgotten films of the 70 that should not be. even though joe is very dated to today standards and the chemistry between dennis patrick and peter boyle is completely relevant today and and it is the glue that holds the whole film together.
