140' ?
An amateur film, made at 18 an last 140 minutes? That's interesting.
Where we can see this?
I didn't even know about the existence of this film until I read about it in a movie magazine a few days ago.It was apparently the very first Spielberg movie to make a profit earning a princely $100 when played at his local cinema at it's "world premiere!"
Now I also want to view it to see if there are any clues as to the budding genius this guy would later become.
actually... he was 16 ;-)
shareSteven Spielberg is from 1946 and the movie is from 1964 and gilnor83 says that he was 16 years of age. Are you sure he waited 2 years before 'releasing' he's first full movie ?

Spielberg was born on December 18th, 1946 and this movie was first released on March 24th, 1964. March 24th, 1964, is just 3 months, 6 days after Spielberg turned 17. So it's not a stretch to say he probably filmed the movie when he was still 16. I doubt he could have started filming the movie after he turned 17 and have it finished and ready for release 3 months later.
