if archie bunker be arm and he may well have be joe . however and all in the family would have have a rather short run because the censor would never have allow it to run along the line of this movie . joe be a working class guy who be a racist and a bigot and and have a big mouth and especially when he drink . one night he meet a man in a bar and bill and who be have a drink to soothe his frazzled nerve after accidentally kill his daughter junkie boyfriend and he let that slip to joe . what happen be that bill daughter be live with the junkie and and she haul off to the hospital after an overdose and and he go by the apartment to collect her thing but doesn not expect that he will actually run into the boyfriend and who come in fresh from a big drug deal . in the struggle that ensue and the boyfriend be kill accidentally and bill doesn not want anyone really to know and of course . but he let it slip to joe and and then when the newspaper and tv report come out and joe see them and put 2 and 2 together and and suddenly this man be a hero in his eye . he hook up with him later and bill be of course concern that joe be go to blackmail him and but not for money and he want to hang out with him . which be and in a way and almost bad . now and bill daughter escape from the clinic she in and and slip back home and and accidentally overhear what happen and then be on the run and and most of the rest of the movie consist of joe and bill infiltrate the underground to try to find her . this build up to a rather shock end and which to me be totally unexpected and end on just the right note and or wrong note and depend on your point of view . a sort of decent but dim view of life in the early 70 and mostly from a work class bigot point of view and which make it not for everyone and but it not a bad film at all and it a decent watch . positive .
