PLEASE PLEASE Help. Does anyone know this film?

The year must of been 70's / 80's. I can't think of any of the actors / actresses. What I do know is the movie had a scene where a mother was driving and the son, who must have been 17 - 25 (sitting in the front) put on the song by Supertramp "Take the long way home" I believe the plot involved either the son or the mother killing the father was was violently abusing the family. Please, Please help, this is driving me nuts.

i think you're looking for "love hurts", 1990.

check out the trailer, and let me know what you think.

Thanks Toyman, your input was greatly appreciated but sadly, no. It was not Love Hurts. As far as I can remember there were definitely no comedy references in the film I am looking for.

Thanks for your time Toyman.

A longshot, but check out RAIL KINGS (2005).

Many thanks Rev. Powell.

Not Rail Kings.
A lot older than this one. I wish I had more to go on.

Thanks for trying though.

well, just for future reference, you can search IMDB for movies based upon what songs were on their soundtracks. take a look. none of the other films that has "take the long way home" sounds even remotely close to what you're looking for.

I'll take a look there now, see if any bell's start ringing.
Thanks again Toyman.

I was starting to doubt myself. It was the mother who was killed (by the husband) sorry for the confusion folks.
