Wiki.

Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town (stylized as anyone lived in a pretty [how] town) is a 1967 short film made by George Lucas inspired by E. E. Cummings' poem of the same name.

It was one of two films Lucas made after returning to USC's film school as a graduate in 1967 (the other was The Emperor). The film represented a first for the USC film school by being shot in color and widescreen.

The film was shown out of competition in the Special Screening section at the Short Shorts Film Festival EXPO 2005.
