 Get in the T-Bird!, 2008-12-25
I saw this ages ago, and we all grew up with ghosts of Happy Days flitting past us making us nostalgic to a California era (and its music) that occurred ten years before we were born, so it was interesting to see it again now that I too am going through a phase of listening to "golden oldie" bands, although in my case it's the feedback-drenched psychadelia of Blue Cheer and the Yardbirds. American Grafitti is a great film, full of funny characters and good dialogue, fantastic editing, and great tunes - so good, in fact, that it's hard to believe that it came from the mind that produced the screenplay for The Phantom Menace. There's a young pre-fame Harrison Ford driving around prepping for his next role as Han Solo, and also Richard Dreyfuss as a college-bound kid wondering whether he should stick around town or look around a bit. Lots of nuances, which is a word you don't often use when describing George Lucas, such as the scene when Richard Dreyfuss has a talk with his teacher, and a girl comes up at the end of the conversation and says "teach, can I talk with you for a minute?" The scene is pregnant with meaning, but Lucas is subtle (?!?) about it and drops the story and moves on. There's also good fun when Dreyfuss (he seems to get all the best scenes) gets initiated into the local gang, the Pharaohs. It's such a very white white white town, that even the gangsters are white. To inject a bit of colour, though, Wolfman Jack has a great cameo. Suzanne Sommers as "the blonde in the T-bird" is basically unrecognizable, but hey - it's Chrissy!
