Nobody Waved Good-bye is a 1964 National Film Board of Canada production directed by Don Owen, starring Peter Kastner, Julie Biggs and Claude Rae.

In Toronto, Ontario, Peter is an 18-year-old boy who dislikes the middle-class comfort of his family life, headed by his father, who sells cars for $300 per commission, and what he perceives as society's general fixation on profit.

Peter steals his father's company car and rides with Julie, only to be arrested for dangerous driving without a licence.

He starts meeting with a probation officer weekly, and also leaves home to rent his own place, and finds work.

No screenplay was written for the film and all of the scenes were improvised based on a short outline that he would discuss with the actors and cameraman John Spotton.

Columbia Pictures distributed the film in Canada, but it bombed upon its release in Montreal in November after barely making $700 in a week.

[11] The movie performed well in the United States and Columbia expanded its release in Canada in response to the American reception.

The NFB refused a demand by Irish censors to remove all of the references to sex and pregnancy in order for the movie to air on television.
