Summary

Two frustrated working class mechanics, one divorced while the other having a small struggling family, tried to go to Denver in order to escape from their depressing lives. [2] [3] [4]

Production

The film was shot in Minneapolis on a low budget while Morris was on summer break from UCLA. A Blu-ray release of the newly restored film was planned by Vinegar Syndrome after finding the original negative in a New Jersey warehouse, but was postponed afterwards. [4]

Reception and legacy

Variety stated that the film "fails to develop much identification with or empathy for the trapped participants" [5] while Vincent Canby of The New York Times praised it as a "remarkably good, level-headed movie". [6]

The 1988 film Patti Rocks serves as a sequel to this film. [4] [7]
