American Graffiti, the classic 1973 George Lucas (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) teen coming-of-age high school graduation romantic comedy ("Where were you in '62?"; "It was the time of makin' out and cruisin', going steady and playin' it cool it was the time of your life, the time of American Graffiti."; "Written by George Lucas and Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard (billed as "Ronny Howard"), Paul Le Mat, Charlie Martin Smith, Candy Clark (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams, Wolfman Jack (real life radio disc jockey portraying himself), Harrison Ford (in an extremely early role), Kathleen Quinlan (in her first credited role!), Bo Hopkins (wonderful as the leader of the Pharaohs), Suzanne Somers (in her first movie, as the blonde in the T-Bird who haunts Richard Dreyfuss throughout the movie), Johnny Weissmuller Jr. (in a bit part as one of the tough guys who steal the car!), and Linda Christensen (as the girl who rides with Harrison Ford early on in the movie). Note that this classic movie was George Lucas' second movie. His first was "THX 1138" from 1971. That movie flopped at the box office, and he came up with the idea of this movie, and his friends Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck (with whom he had written the script for "Messiah of Evil", a movie that was started but not completed in 1971) wrote a 15-page story treatment. Lucas presented that treatment to United Artists, who gave him $10,000 to write a full script. He wanted Katz and Huyck to write that full script, but they were busy on Messiah of Evil, and he hired Richard Walters to write it, but Lucas rejected it. At this point, Lucas wrote a script himself, but United Artists turned it down, because it consisted of four separate stories that had no connection! Lucas rewrote the script again and submitted it to Universal, who agreed to finance it up to $750,000. Lucas then asked Huyck and Katz to rewrite part of the movie, especially the Steve and Laurie portions. At this point, the script was called "Rock Radio is American Graffiti (Saga of the Low Riders)". It is noted as the "second draft" from "10 May 1972", and the writing is credited to George Lucas, Gloria Katz, and Willard Huyck. There are scenes in that script that do not appear in the final version of the film as shown, and the relationship of the characters is not as intertwined as it was in the final version. Those changes were made over the year the movie was in production before it opened on August 1, 1973.

Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded vertically three times and horizontally three times (this being folded one time more than is sometimes done, but it is quite common with British quads, especially older ones). Because of this, this quad can be sent in one of our standard size flat packages (but if it is purchased together with quads that have not been folded in the same way, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our tubes if the other quads are unfolded, or, if it is purchased with other quads that are only folded once horizontally than it can either be sent in an oversized flat package, OR in a tube). But if this quad is purchased by itself (or solely with other quads that have been folded the same way), then the shipping can be lower, because it then fits in a standard package. But please realize that because this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time it is likely that the creases have diminished and therefore re-folding the poster will likely bring some of those creases back, but we leave that decision as to whether or not to re-fold the poster up to the individual buyer of this item. UNLESS THE BUYER TELLS US OTHERWISE, THIS QUAD WILL BE SENT ROLLED IN A TUBE.
