}}The Only Thing You Know is a Canadian drama film, directed by Clarke Mackey and released in 1971.[1]

Described by critics as a female version of the 1964 film Nobody Waved Good-bye,[2] the film stars Ann Knox as Ann, a teenager who is dissatisfied with her suburban Toronto life.[3] Striking out on her own, she moves in with her boyfriend Scott (Allan Royal) in the downtown St. James Town neighbourhood, but becomes embroiled in a complex love triangle with Scott and his friend Paul (John Denos).[4]

The film's cast also includes Hugh McIntyre and Eileen McIntyre as Ann's parents.

Production

The film was influenced by the then-experimental blend of docufiction techniques innovated by films such as Nobody Waved Good-bye and À tout prendre.[1] Its script consisted solely of a 15-page story outline, around which the actors improvised their dialogue so that the film would feel like a documentary.[1] It was made on a budget of just $23,000.

Reaction

Knox won the Canadian Film Award for Best Actress, and Mackey won a special jury award for the film.[5]

Despite favourable critical response and Knox's award win the film received only limited release; apart from the Stratford Film Festival[5] the film was never screened outside of Toronto,[4] and even CBC Television rejected the film as too experimental for a mass-market network television airing.[6] Although the film was strongly championed by The New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther, Mackey was also unable to secure a distribution deal in the United States.[1] The film was screened at the 1984 Festival of Festivals, and was later broadcast on CBC and TVOntario,[1] but was generally not widely seen until it was released on DVD in 2006.[1]
