Watch: American Graffiti 1973 123movies, Full Movie Online – It’s the proverbial end of the summer 1962 in a small southern California town. It’s the evening before best friends and recent high school graduates, Curt Henderson and Steve Bolander, are scheduled to leave town to head to college back east. Curt, who received a lucrative local scholarship, is seen as the promise that their class holds. But Curt is having second thoughts about leaving what Steve basically sees as their dead end town. Curt’s beliefs are strengthened when he spots an unknown beautiful blonde in a T-bird who mouths the words “I love you” to him. As Curt tries to find that blonde while trying to get away from a local gang who have him somewhat hostage, Curt may come to a decision about his immediate future. Outgoing class president Steve, on the other hand, wants to leave, despite meaning that he will leave girlfriend, head cheerleader and Curt’s sister, Laurie Henderson, behind. Steve and Laurie spend the evening “negotiating” the state of their relationship. Meanwhile, two of their friends cruise around town for the evening. Steve has left his car to meek and mild-mannered Terry “Toad” Fields to look after during his absence. The wheels give Toad a new sense of confidence, which he uses to try and impress Debbie Dunham, a more experienced girl generally out of his league. And John Milner, who is seen as the king of the street race in his souped-up yellow deuce coupe, tries to get rid of precocious pre-teen, Carol Morrison, who has somehow become his passenger for the evening, while dealing with the challenge of bold out-of-towner, Bob Falfa..
Plot: A couple of high school graduates spend one final night cruising the strip with their buddies before they go off to college.

The American Garden
The summer of 1962, for these four Youths, it’s the closest they will ever get to the Garden of Eden. The music, the cars, the drinking, the dancing, and the innocence, American Graffiti is a harder film to make than Star Wars. To identify with the generation and to create truth from the characters, George Lucas’s masterpiece is American Graffiti. From the town Big shot, the future Race car Driver, the Perfect Couple, and the local Nerd, it is amazing how the audience identifies with all these characters from out past. Like a page out of the high school year book, this movie jumps back into the early 60’s, before the war, before the lines were drawn, the age of innocence in America would soon be coming to an end. This is the last party of the summer before the dream finally ends.

It’s of a time and place.
The first time I saw this film, I was utterly taken with it. My folks ran a restaurant which became a hangout for the kids of the mid to late fifties and early sixties. It wasn’t a drive in, but it became a place for much of what went on in this movie. We were in a small town, so there are urban elements that didn’t apply. But there was cruising. There were fights. There were tough guys. I remember John Steinke who spent his Saturday evenings shooting up people’s mailboxes with his .22. Most of the kids were normal kids. Some portrayals of the fifties make it seem like everyone had a leather jacket and a duck tail haircut. These were just a small percentage. Most postured and pranced around like the kids we have today. Different times; same basic behavior. I loved the mythos. The girl in the white car. The average Joe (Richard Dreyfuss). The nerd. The girl friend who you thought would be your love forever. The scary future. It’s all here. Then there is that midnight journey, that quest. Wolfman Jack, whose career was really made big by this film. The police, who are understandably obsessed with these hoods and what they do. It’s a lot of fun. I don’t know why, however, this film didn’t wash quite as well the last time I saw it. Was it too many Happy Days episodes? Is it less relevant now? Have we no innocence? I just didn’t feel the magic. Or is it that I was so much closer to the ages of the characters when I saw it the first time. It’s still a landmark film. The cinematography is striking. See it if you haven’t.
