• Plot: 'I'm the 'Joe' everybody's talking about,' heralded movie print ads for director John G. Avildsen's (Rocky) film Joe, proving that there's truth in advertising. The modestly budgeted film would go on to become a multi-million dollar box-office success, garnering an Academy-Award nomination for Best Screenplay.; ; Peter Boyle (TV's Everybody Loves Raymond) stars as Joe Curran, the titular everyman and unbashed hippie-hater. Joe, who equates hippies with everything un-American, finds a kindred sprit in Bill Compton (Dennis Patrick, Chances Are), an advertising executive who makes Joe's acquaintance at a neighborhood bar, boasting that he killed a drug-dealing hoppie (Patrick McDermott, The French Connection). Bill, pressed for facts by the intrigued Joe, recants saying he was merely joking. But when a news reports confirms the incident, vigilante justice akin to Taxi Driver is set in motion.; ; Joe, directed by John G. Avildsen, written by Normal Wexler (Serpico) and featuring the screen debut of Susan Sarandon (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), also stars Audrey Claire (They Saved Hitler's Brain) and K Callan (American GIgolo)
