Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1982. Vintage reference photograph of director Amy Heckerling and actor Judge Reinhold from the set of the 1982 film.

Based on the 1981 book "Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story" by Cameron Crowe. Filmed in five weeks, Heckerling's adaptation of Crowe's autobiographical account of high school life not only jump-started the careers of over half a dozen actors who would become major stars, it is also one of the finest films of a well-loved and disreputable genre, funny and still quite fresh today.

Shot on location in Los Angeles, Inglewood, and Santa Monica, California.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

National Film Registry. Criterion Collection 1075.
