Dennis Weaver passed away today according to Fox News on TV.
Ooooh yes! I remember that movie! It was very tense. We were staying at a hotel on the beach in North Carolina the first time we watched it. I can't remember the name of it myself. Don't think they ever did reveal who it was or why they were doing it. I wondered for a long time after that if it might have just been a case of mistaken identity, or maybe someone had a contract out on Weaver's character for some reason. Even when they showed the wrecked truck, I half expected a driverless truck to just right itself and start rolling after him again!
Gunsmoke
Bit part in Touch of Evil (They got another think commin!)
Gentle Ben
McCloud
Duel
I jusr realized, on the detective series with different stars each week, only COLOMBO is still kicking.

I personally didn't care for the shows as they never missed a chance to denigrate handgun ownership. (Rifles were not a target then)
One of the best movies Stephen Speilberg ever did.

Anyone else hear it?

Well, that's the story of my life! A day late and a dollar short!
Gunsmoke....We were little kids and had to go to bed....but,as if they didnt know...we sat at the top of the stairs and listened....
I knew they were Democrats. I just didn't know Dennis was a Liberal. Jesse Jackson for President? Come on.
I think the guy in the truck was just telling him he was bigger. I got that feeling last week when I drove the entire length of the Pennsylvania turnpike. After a while, I was so happy to see the trucks parked on the side of the road or in the rest stops for the night!
Saturday nights...my dad & I played Cribbage and then watched Gunsmoke. Each week. My favorite night of the week...
Daren, Don, and Dennis... it was a bad week for "D"s.
The story " Duel" was originally published in Playboy Mag.
I forget the author of the piece.
The story in my opinion, was more suspensful than the movie--although the movie was very well done.
The ugly truck should have won an award.
They made you do that on a Saturday night? !! Don't tell me they made you suffer through the worst hour of television right before Gunsmoke, Lawrence Welk!
