Bobby has a '68 Camaro. Rose has a five-year-old kid. On their first date, they become lovers and fugitives.

Two young lovers in a city of dreams.


Aloha, Bobby & Rose was conceived and promoted as a contemporary Bonnie and Clyde. Paul LeMat plays Bobby, an auto mechanic, while Diane Hull is Rose, a car-wash jockey; the two fall in love and dream of heading off to Hawaii, hence the title. Responsible for an accidental homicide, Bobby and Rose are then forced to take it on the lam


The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures. Although production began on October 22, 1973,[3] the release date was April 29, 1975.[4]
It was filmed on a low budget of $60,000, but became a huge box office success, grossing $35,000,000 domestically, which made it one of the most successful films of 1975.[5][6]
The New York Times gave the film a negative review, stating “The only tragic thing in a film like this is the quality of stupidity the characters are forced to exhibit in order to keep the plot going.”[7]
The Time Out review made some comparisons between Aloha and the critically acclaimed 1973 film American Graffiti, which also starred Le Mat, though the review goes on to say “…with little characterisation or depth, the plot doesn't finally add up to much more than a coda to Graffiti.”
