American Graffiti was the first huge success of the director, George
Lucas. It is a coming-of-age movie about teenagers on their last night of the summer vacation. The soundtrack highlights this fast paced movie, complete with hilarious hijinks. The car cruisin' scenes feature many of the classics of the 50's. This movie spawned the TV series, Happy Days, and was also followed with a much less popular sequel. Many of the stars of today launched their big screen careers or debuted in this movie: Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Paul LeMat, Charlie Martin Smith, Candy Clark, Cindy Williams, Kathleen Quinlan, and several others. George Lucas went on to produce the smash hit, Star Wars.
