Lyrical and gritty, this lovers-on-the-lam tale takes place largely in a night-blooming Los Angeles where, on a first date, car mechanic Paul LeMat and single mom Dianne Hull find themselves running from the cops. Powered by a great ’70s soundtrack, the movie takes the audience from the ease of cruising the boulevards to the feverishness of life on the run. Print courtesy of the American Genre Film Archive
