"6-18-67" is a 4.5-minute short film from almost 50 years ago filmed by George Lucas, who was in his 20s at this point and still a while away from his biggest achievements. This one here is a contender for his least known work and also for his worst I assume. It's a bit of a behind-the-scenes documentary short film made at the set of "MacKenna's Gold" starring Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif and Telly Savalas, but we hardly see anything from the set. With one exception in the middle of the film, this is basically 4 minutes of desert and the quality is really bad while the contents are extremely uninteresting. Even if Lucas was still very young when he made this one, it was far from his first works, so I'd have guessed he would have been better and more experienced already at this point. I was wrong. Also looking at how prolific Lucas was in his first years as a filmmaker, it may have been a bit too much and possibly the reason why he stopped directing film so quickly after "Star Wars" for a very long time. Anyway, this film here is as uncreative as its title and I do not recommend checking it out. Major thumbs-down from me.
