Steven Spielberg reflects on his early work in television as a freelance director for such shows as Night Gallery, Marcus Welby, M.D., Columbo, and for his first made for TV movie Duel starring Dennis Weaver. Spielberg's talent was evident from the get-go.
Richard Matheson talks about his inspiration for writing the novelette, Duel, working on the script for the movie, and his thoughts about Spielberg's final product.
Even though I was just a kid in the 70's, I sure do miss some of those shows from the era.
Duel is one of the most riveting pieces of film ever.
It was truly amazing.
Heckuva debut that’s for sure :)
I am just going to get the whole thing from Netflix - thanks for the reminder :)
Cool—you’re welcome.
Excellent film. Especially considering at the time it was one of those movies of the week.

Dennis Weaver in Spielberg's Duel
That movie scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. Still creeps me out!
I would love if they remixed the soundtrack and re-released it in theaters.
I’ve driven that stretch of road in Santa Clarita’s Sand Canyon more times than I can remember.
