Since the early 1970s, Steven Spielberg has directed more than two dozen films, many of which have achieved classic status. In addition to critical and commercial successes that include E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial, Schindlers List, Saving Private Ryan, and Lincoln, Spielbergs name has become synonymous with such thrilling adventure films as Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Minority Report. Before he became a worldrenowned filmmaker, however, Spielberg established himself on television, helming episodes of Rod Serlings Night Gallery; Marcus Welby, M.D.; and Columbo. But it was the smallscreen version of a Richard Matheson short story that brought the young directors work to the attention of critics and viewers alike.In Steven Spielberg and Duel: The Making of a Film Career, Steven Awalt provides an exhaustive study commemorating the film that decisively launched the career of a major film artist. Through indepth research and interviews with the films creative and technical crew, the author tracks the film from genesis through production to release. Awalt conducted lengthy oneonone interviews with Spielberg, Matheson, assistant director James Fargo, editor Frank Morriss, composer Billy Goldenberg, former MCA/Universal president Sidney J. Sheinberg, and writerproducer Steven Bochco, among others.Spielberg provided access to many rare documents from his archives, including multiple drafts of Duels teleplay, the shooting schedule, shooting logistics breakdowns, and production correspondence. The first booklength examination of this important production in the directors early career, Steven Spielberg and Duel also includes the original teleplay by Matheson, four additional scenes created for the international theatrical release of the film, photos, and storyboards of the films final sequence. A fascinating look behind the scenes of an acclaimed work, this book will interest not only scholars and film historians but anyone interested in the work of Richard Matheson and Steven Spielberg.
