Nobody Waved Goodbye

Dir(s): Don Owen

Program: Spotlight On...

Run Time: 80 | Canada  | Language: English 

A youth rebels against his parents' middle-class goals and conventions, but away from home and high school he finds the world a cold place to go it alone. A look at the sources of delinquency in an affluent society.

Nobody Waved Goodbye, made in 1964 and directed by Don Owen, started as an idea for a documentary but ended up as a dramatic feature that today is considered one of the most important films in the short history of English Canadian cinema. The film embodies all that is worth celebrating about the Film Board: talent, risk-taking, social and political engagement, Canada. The impact of Nobody Waved Goodbye on Canadian teenagers in the '60s was as dramatic as the better known American film Rebel Without A Cause-it was just harder to find in the theatres. S. Wayne Clarkson.
