With Steven Spielberg's latest hitting theaters this week — The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse — Spout decided to spotlight the director's early works for their Short Starts column in anticipation of the new releases. Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment takes its name from the filmmaker's calling card — a 26-minute, 35mm road movie that turned 43-years-old this past weekend. The movie won him several festival awards, and eventually a 7-year contract with Universal where he grew his career.
