American Graffiti (1973)
1 mistake since 19 Feb '23, 02:46
Directed by: George Lucas
Starring: Harrison Ford, Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Charles Martin Smith, Paul Le Mat
Terry Fields: Jesus, what a night.
Trivia: Harrison Ford wears a white cowboy hat in the film, because George Lucas wanted him to get his hair cut in the 1950's "crewcut" fashion. Ford didn't want to because it was in style to have longer hair at the time and he was afraid it would affect future acting jobs if he cut it. He convinced Lucas to just let him wear the hat to cover his hair.
