ALOHA BOBBY AND ROSE (1975)

Garage mechanic Bobby (Paul Le Mat) and his new fast food cashier girlfriend Rose (Diane Hull) become innocently involved in a liquor store robbery in mid-1970s Los Angeles, and are subsequently forced to lead a life on the run. Driven by the ultimate fantasy of escaping to Hawaii, they wander southern California encountering various and sundry oddballs and psychopaths. On their travels, Bobby and Rose meet a Texan couple, the irrepressible Buford (if only we could have seen more of him!) and the dim but good-natured Donna Sue, played by Tim McIntire and Leigh French. Buford is an amusing drinking-buddy whose presence in any bar guarantees at least one outrageous incident, and Donna Sue is all heart, but their relentless cheerfulness becomes claustrophobic, especially for Rose. This offbeat road picture, with a soundtrack featuring songs by Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the Temptations.
