This film, made for only $78,000, is an excellent example of how a small-budget film easily can outdo a multimillion-dollar extravaganza. Two small-town workers, McGrath and Bradley, looking for something better in life, leave their little Nova Scotia home and head for the big time in
Toronto. There they find work in a soda pop factory and find life even more dismal. Though constantly fighting, they depend on each other's friendship. One marries a girl he has made pregnant and then loses his job. McGrath and Bradley once more run off from their troubles at the film's end,
looking for their dreams elsewhere. The leads are exceptional. Bradley is fine as a simple man...
