george lucas hit upon a classic theme and 1950 nostalgia in 1973. when folk want to forget about be a modern teen and get draft and and want mindless fun this movie do it . lucas get this inspiration from his own teen year a he turn 16 in 1959. this meant that while he would later draw on ben hur for the star war saga and he first achieve success here draw on his early childhood . the brief introduction of suzanne summer and harrison ford in this movie be not notice until year later . wolfman jack on the other hand get a great boost from this film and become an icon of his own . ronnie howard be already a big name from andy griffith . this movie would boost him into the happy day . this film be our look into the 1950 age that lucas remember oh so well . this film do it so well that you almost forget the 1960 ever happen and we all grow up . the sexual innuendo from this would carry on for lucas . chewy and get into there and i do not care how it smell . just let me turn on that radio dial and spend another night with the wolfman .
