One sheet promotional poster for
Amblin', a 1968 short film written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The film's title later inspired the name of Spielberg's production company, Amblin Entertainment.
Key Information
Director: Steven Spielberg, in his first completed film shot on 35 mm.
Plot: The silent film, without any dialogue, follows a young man and woman (played by Richard Levin and Pamela McMyler) who meet while hitchhiking in the Southern California desert during the late 1960s. They become friends and lovers on their journey to the Pacific coast.
Climax: Upon reaching the beach, the woman opens the man's guarded guitar case to find a suit and tie, among other toiletries, revealing his conventional lifestyle beneath his "hippie" facade. She then leaves him behind.
Impact: The film won a Silver Phoenix Award at the Atlanta Film Festival in 1968 and impressed a Universal Pictures executive, leading to Spielberg being signed to a seven-year directing contract with the studio.
Legacy: Despite its success, Spielberg has reportedly been dismissive of the film, calling it "a great Pepsi commercial". It has not been officially released on home video, though low-quality versions circulate online.
