Duel
- Commentary: I haven't received this movie, yet. It's on it's way. I wanted to set up its "home", though, because I've got some other material I want to recommend to readers (and capture the links for myself).
The first link, which you can also find in the write-up about Jaws, is a video in which Stephen Lang reads the story by Richard Matheson from which Matheson also adapted the screenplay, accompanied by video clips of the movie.
TCM also hosts a good write-up for the film that includes production details.
In addition, although I haven't yet found anything Roger Ebert may have said about this film, either when it was released as a TV or theatrical movie, I discovered this excerpt from a book by Steven Awalt about the making of the movie.
You can read about my history with this story and the movie in my write-up about Jaws.
Exciting story and movie! I can't wait to receive it! The disc promises some interesting special features, as well, that I'm looking forward to viewing. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!
Of course, more later.
