Rockin' and Rollin' George Lucas' Movie
An interesting, light-hearted look at a circa 1958 California small-town teenagers' night before many of their lives change following summer post high school graduation. George Lucas combined 1950's era pop music with street machines cruising the town while weaving the conflicts and mischievous vignettes of several recent high school grads. Lucas accomplished a first with a music soundtrack blanketing the bold color scheme of documentary style shooting. Thanks in large part to cinematographer Haskell Wexler's keen visual work. Today's audience may find this a "boring" movie. It is a story you have to engage and stay with to have a chance to enjoy.
This is a throwback movie. It kind of remind me of the movie "Valentine's Day" where there are a bunch of different story lines going on, but set in the 1960's. This has a bunch of classic actors like Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, and Ron Howard.
