Review of American Graffiti (1973) by Four Star F — 06 Feb 2013
Starring Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss with a host of others, this George Lucas directed film follows the lives of young people in California during the early 60s. It is the night before Dreyfuss and Howard are going off to college.
They both want to make the most of the time left. However, Howard spends all his time trying to strengthen his relationship with his girlfriend (Cindy Williams). Dreyfuss on the other hand finds himself out in the town talking with girls and proving himself to a group of thugs.
The rest of the film consists of the hot rodding antics of two other characters. A tough speedster (Paul Le Mat) finds himself driving around a 12 year-old girl. "Toad" the nerdy one (Charles Martin Smith), finds himself spending a wild night with a nice but peculiar girl.
With its classic music accompanied by Wolfman Jack and the vintage cars, American Graffiti is a blast from the past.
