Joe is a 1970 drama film starring Peter Boyle, Dennis Patrick, and Susan Sarandon in her film debut. Joe, a furnace operator played by Boyle, and a business executive, played by Patrick, search for the latter's missing hippie daughter played by Sarandon.
The film was directed by John G. Avildsen, and was a reaction to the counter-culture movies of the time.[citation needed]
Joe was a predecessor to Taxi Driver, and was nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar.
The film was spoofed in MAD Magazine in 1971 as "Schmoe."
Joe also featured an original soundtrack, introducing artists such as Exuma with the song You Don't Know What's Going On, Dean Michaels' variant of Hey Joe and other original songs by Jerry Butler and Bobby Scott.
