	Duel (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duel is a 1971 television movie directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Richard Matheson (based on his own short story), starring Dennis Weaver and a Peterbilt tanker truck.
		Duel was Spielberg's feature-length directing debut, following a well-received turn directing a segment of the anthology television series Night Gallery.
		The story "Duel" was inspired by a real-life experience, in which Richard Matheson was tailgated by a trucker on his way home from a golfing match with a friend.

		I was first introduced to Duel At Diablo years ago as a small child, during one particularly lazy weekend when I turned on the TV and happened to come across it around the halfway point.
		Throughout the movie there are indications that Jesse may be falling in love with Ellen, but this subplot goes nowhere and ends up simply being abandoned before the end.
		The movie then tries to desperately pump up this subplot's tension so that it will end in a bang, but then suddenly it deflates completely in a blink of an eye so that it instead ends with a whimper.

		After finishing "The Duel", the only thing I could do was stare at the TV in sheer amazement, wondering what I would have to do to get back the time I lost watching this movie.
		As the day of the duel draws closer, Dragon 9, with the help of Princess Phoenix (who also happens to be in love with Yip), works to solve the case.
		The movie had a budget, and by God, the producers were going to use all of it.

	Movie DVD for Duel (Collector's Edition)
		Sometimes the movies were failed pilots, other times they were topical based on world events (it would sometimes be a race to see who could make a movie about the most recent scandal first).
		The psychological aspect of the movie, which is what helps drive the story, feels very similar to Matheson’s “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” which fans may remember starred William Shatner (and later John Lithgow for the movie version) as a man terrified while flying.
		From his early days Spielberg has known at the heart of his movie has to be a good story, and whether that story is a man being tormented by a truck or a con-man on the run, Spielberg knows how to find that story and does his best job at telling it.

	Duel: Collector's Edition (1971)
		Spielberg’s first full-length movie, Duel, helped jumpstart the director’s big-screen career, with a gripping, action-packed story hailed by critics as a film that “belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers” (Daily Variety).
		Duel appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Spielberg discusses his nods to Hitchcock and that director’s influence on the movie, the pressures of the flick’s rapid post-production, sound design, music and reactions to the film.

		DUEL AT DIABLO is an exceptional Western full of gritty action, unsentimental characters and austere and foreboding landscapes.
		This movie was originally released as "The Big Gundown." Good musical score, good plot twist that is very similar to that of a very good 1958 western Van Cleef had a small role in ("The Bravados" starring Gregory Peck).
		Over 50% of books sold are romance, and still they don't get it, I have watched the TNT movies several times, and wish that they would make some new ones, they take us away from everyday life where we can fanasize about a handsome hero & heroine who are not involved in car chases and...

		The movie never showed us who he was.” A few other students nodded in agreement.
		Duel is arguably one of the greatest made-for-TV movies ever made, mainly because it's a theatrical film trapped in a TV-movie's body.
		Picture and Sound: Since the movie was originally intended for TV audiences (though released theatrically overseas), the picture is rendered in its original fullscreen aspect ratio.

	Duel — Steven Spielberg, Dennis Weaver
		Imagining that the production of the movie cost Universal a mere $500,000 is difficult given the incredible result.
		Perhaps the genius evident in the movie is actually dumb luck on Spielberg's part.
		Maybe the insanely rushed shooting schedule (less than two weeks) and tight budget forced the moviemaker to create a film that was just shaky enough and looked cheap enough to be suspenseful.

		Duel, originally made for television in 1971 and later released theatrically, is a superbly executed study in terror focusing on a mild-mannered motorist (Dennis Weaver) who is menaced by the deranged driver of an 18-wheeler.
		Duel, which helped jumpstart the director's big-screen career, stars Dennis Weaver as a traveling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out for destruction.
		A few years later, Spielberg's blockbuster Jaws would echo Duel's tale of a lone hero in a heart-stopping fight to the finish against a monstrous and inhuman foe.

	Duel (1971)
		The genius of Duel is not the talent behind the cinematography and sharp editing, but the fact that Spielberg and everyone involved in the film's design was able to make the truck into the movie's most important character.
		The fact that you never see the driver implies that the truck is actually in control, a demonic force compelling the driver to kill.
		I liked Duel even though it left me with too many unanswered questions, which is probably more my fault than it is the filmmaker's.

		And this isn't someone merely trying to show off their superior driving skills; this truck is lethal and David is dragged into a cat and mouse game for his life.
		Originally a tv movie in America then dusted off and expanded into a theatrical for Europe, the influence of 'Duel' is obvious.
		If you look closely you'll see notches on the bumper of the truck indicating that Mann is not the first victim of the driver and there's a great moment where half-way through his vengeful mission against Mann, the truckdriver stops to help a broken down school bus.
