"A documentary that explores the 1964 film produced by Roman Kreitor and Don Owen. 18-year-old Peter is a "problematic" youth who wants his independence and freedom, yet his quest for individuality isn't always in line with what his parents expect from him. His mother wants him to go to college and become a lawyer, while his father wants him to just sustain a middle-class lifestyle. Peter is involved with a girl named Julie whom he loves. They have a plan to save money and leave their hometown behind. In his desperation, Peter steals money and a car from the car lot where he works. Once Julie sees how Peter has turned their plan into a criminal act, she doesn't want any part of it. Furthermore, she is pregnant. The film ends with Peter leaving Julie on the side of the road, with neither of them waving goodbye.--Duana Fullwiley, 11-94."
