A beautiful college bound girl disturbingly preoccupied with the threat of nuclear destruction falls in love with a handsome ex-con who is rumored to have murdered the father of his high school sweetheart. The Unbelievable Truth is a heartwarming and clear eyed satire about idealistic young love, capitalist moralizing in the home, and the need for work one loves. Hartley's first feature film is also one of his most beloved comedies. A true cult classic.
