Joe is a drama from 1970, directed by John G. Avildsten, set in New York. Some of the main points and topics of this film are very controversial, still, in today society, which is sure to bring up debate. It touches base on social classes, welfare, drugs, taxes, innate superiority, race, and even justifiable murder. The first half of the film is mainly about Compton (played by Dennis Patrick) humoring Joe (played by Peter Boyle) and staying on his good side because he's the only one that knows his dark secret. About half way through the film, Compton's daughter, Melissa (played by Susan Surandon) also finds out about Compton's deep dark secret. This is when Compton and Joe team up and go on a wild goose chase looking for Melissa so she doesn't spill the beans. On their travels they ran into some trouble and had to go out of their way to get their belongings back. The end took me by surprise and found myself looking at the screen with my mouth wide open until the credits rolled through.
This film was amazing and very detailed with the actions and reactions of the actors and has a surprise ending that I didn't see coming.
Great pick Cricket.
But the father (me and names...) is the one who impressed me the most.In simple scenes he has a way of stealing it with a simple facial expression,I was really mesmerized by it.It was fun seeing Susan Sarandon so young,her eyes seemed even bigger back then,though I felt like the character could be a bit annoying,she was however very little on screen though so it didnt bother me.Also character wise-i loved the mother.."yes we`re all the same" 
, just saying though if people are fine with that happening then these are clearly not for me.
