George Lucas was originally slated to direct Apocalypse Now for Warner Bros. but the deal fell though. Despite its shoestring budget and little support from Universal, his next project was a mythic ode to his high school years in Modesto, California that became a sleeper hit, grossing over $55 million and jump-starting numerous careers both behind and in front of the cameras. Interestingly, the innovative end title wrap-up‚ describing the fates of its characters did not include any of the females. A disappointing multi-screen-ratio sequel followed in 1979.

On of my favorite movies. I watch it every year on the last day of summer.

All of these deeply etched, three dimensional characters that you really care about. What happened? After this movie, Lucas specialized in one dimensional cartoon characters. Sometimes literally (HOWARD THE DUCK).

How cool that they had Mort Drucker of Mad Magazine fame do the illustrations for the yearbook.

It is my favorite of Lucas' mainly because The semi-documentary feel of it the "you are there" photography and highly atmospheric soundtrack it all just comes together to make you feel like you been here all along I wasn't born until 1968 but I feel like I could've grown up during those times just fine the characters are not dated and are very familiar it truly is one of the best films I've always loved this one a lot of people don't understand why it just feels like a comfortable shoe a comfortable chair it fits

The greatest high school movie of all time, bar none. Okay, Rebel Without A Cause and Breakfast Club are great too.

Brilliant film. As a huge, huge, huge star wars fan, I truly believe this is George Lucas' masterpiece. I watch this movie at least once a year, although I grew up in the 80s and I loved it, this movie gives me a feeling of nostalgia of an era I don't know. Few films can achive that.

The character illustrations look like the work of the great Mad magazine artist Mort Drucker. If anyone has seen Britian's Spitting Image it looks like they derived the design of their puppets from Drucker's very distinct style.. Love the movie too. Making period movie is not easy. Most come off as fake, which is why American Graffiti did it perfectly and the pointless sequel failed utterly.Plus the cars were awesome back then.

Maybe it's just me but it feels like time has stood still since this movie came out (1973). I'm not talking about technology, I'm talking about America. It's the same. Sure, little tweaks here and there, but America is basically the same. Great movie. George knew exactly what the hell he was doing.

I don't think it took place on the last day of school. I think it took place at the end of the summer before Richard Dreyfuss went off to college. Otherwise this is a fine summary of why we love the movie even if we were barely born in '62.

You are correct. This classic was set just as the school year was beginning.

The first 30 seconds is one of the greatest introductions ever said. Couldn't have stated it better myself.

I still remember that, "Where were you in '62?" Ad line. Simple and brilliant.

Casting director Fred Roos is one of Jack Nicholson's oldest and closest friends. When he was casting director of the later color seasons of MAYBERRY RFD, you start seeing Jack pop up on it.

Also, there is a RU-vid interview with Fred where he states that Candy Clark was recommended to him by Jack Nicholson.

Great review, although the movie was not set on the last day of school, but rather toward the end of summer as school is about to start again. Curt was going off to college and the local high school was starting a new year of school with the sock hop in the school gym.

My friend once saw a Trabant and said "Is that the shittiest car ever made or the coolest skateboard?"
