What critics say influenced Duel
Dennis Weaver -- who, coincidentally, had worked with Welles in Touch of Evil -- stars as a traveling salesman driving alone on America's dusty open road.
Welles' Citizen Kane was specifically tailored to be a monster of a debut, while Spielberg's Duel was merely a run-of-the-mill TV movie of the week.
Duel rend d’ailleurs hommage à ce dernier par le biais d’une trame sonore dont les notes aiguës s’apparentent étrangement à celles de Psycho.
