In Reply to: All this chatter forced me to rent "Touch of Evil" last night . . . posted by albee33 on November 29, 2003 at 10:42:46:
Lots to like in that film. I always get a kick out of Dennis Weaver's goofball performance, too.
Follow Ups:
Watched the movie on cable other night, and I still wonder at what the director said to Dennis Weaver to get him to give that performance? I still think he pissed his pants when Heston shows up looking for the gun.
If nature loathes a vacuum then why do vac. tubes sound so natural???
I think Weaver did a great job in "Duel", Speilberg's first film, originally done for TV and then expanded.
Yep, I remember watching Dual when it first premiered on TV ('71?) and thought it was great. Dennis was excellent as the everyman thrown into a nightmare, esp. the scene when he's climbing up the long grade and his car is overheating; "comemon...comeon!!!...shreek gasp pant!!!" I think Sci-Fi ran it some time ago, it still stands up.PeteS

Yes, I too saw it on broadcast TV, having been transfixed by the story shortly before in Playboy. I have a laserdisc of the theatrical version and it still stands up. I love the scene where he's talkimg with his wife on the public telephone.Every time one of those tank trucks passes me on a highway I think of that movie. Did you know that Spielberg mixed in an animal sound when the truck finally careens over the cliff, the same sound that was also used in the mix of the shark dying in Jaws and later in the Jurrasic Park movies?
to blurt out: "Marshall Dillion, Marshall Dillion". It was close!
