HistoryGeorge Lucas directed this a couple of years before doing Star Wars.
Connections
There are a lot of people in this. Ron Howard, Harrison Ford and Richard Dreyfuss. Richard Dreyfuss ages badly apparently. He looks like he's 15 in this movie (but is actually around 25), and now he looks like he's about to celebrate his bicentennial. Dreyfuss also had a small role in The Graduate from a few days back.
What's it about?
It's 1962 and teens spend their last night last night in small town California before going off to college.
Thoughts
This movie was really good. There's a lot of driving around, and everyone is listening to Wolfman Jack on the radio, which ties scenes together, and there are many interesting characters and situations that they get involved in. How did George Lucas go from this to Episode I?
Rating
Oh hell yeah!
