What Goin' Down the Road Is About
Pete and Joey drive out of Cape Breton in a 1960 Chevrolet for Toronto, expecting the relatives already there to meet them and find them work, and the relatives instead go quiet, embarrassed by the pair’s roughness, leaving them adrift in the city. Donald Shebib made it for eighty-five thousand dollars and ended up with one of the most cited films Canada has produced. The story of young men leaving the east coast for the big city never turns into a success story here, and that refusal is exactly why it lasted. Even the SCTV parody years later is evidence of how thoroughly the country knew it.
