The other trucks on the back lot
were the flat-nosed, blunted trucks.
The ones that didn't really form
anything but a large conical cab...
where the window went
straight down to the headlights.
There's no engine sticking out in front.
The engine was probably in the back.
If you tip the cab forward, you can see
the engine behind the driver's seat.
I think that's how those trucks
worked in those days. I'm not sure.
But my eye went right to the one truck,
and I said, "You got the part. "
First of all, I didn't quite know how I
was going to achieve this in 10 days.
They were giving me 10 days
to shoot about 73 minutes of film.
With commercials, it fills out
the hour and a half...
of the ABC Movie of the Week format.
I didn't quite know
how I could do this thing in 10 days.
They assigned me a highly regarded
production manager, Wallace Worsley.
Wallace is kind of
gruff and tough.
He was a pussycat on the inside, but
on the outside was gruff and tough...
who looked at me and often
gave these derisive snorts of...
"Yeah, prove you can make this
into a movie.
Because if you can't, you're history.
We'll bring somebody in who can. "
I really respected that.
He took a hard-line position with me.
Because I said to him,
"I wanna shoot this all on location. "
He said "You cannot shoot a movie
of this scale on location in 10 days.
You need to send somebody else out
to shoot all these plates...
and do it on a soundstage
with process. "
I said, "I don't want to shoot this if
I have to go inside. It'll look fake. "
You look out all the windows of the car.
It won't be a chase.
It'll be a guy sitting on a soundstage
with bad process out the windows...
which is always out of sync
with the way the grips move the car.
The car moves this way, the process
goes that way. It never works.
Wally said, "If you spend the first half
of the first day of shooting...
shooting plates,
so we have those banked...
then if you stay on schedule
for the first three days...
then you could shoot on location,
else you gotta come back to the studio. "
I said, "Okay. "
That was the thing I had to prove,
that I could stay on schedule...
so I didn't have to go back inside
to make a real fake-looking movie.
I did stay on schedule to earn me the
right to shoot the whole film outside.
Where I did fall behind schedule
in the last three or four days...
was where Wally Worsley said...
"No one could have done
that film in 10 days. "
We wound up shooting that in 12.
Maybe 13.
I went two or three days
over schedule on that...
which made the studio not very happy,
but I was getting good stuff.
Well, I'm never gonna make
that appointment now.
In order to stay on schedule,
I couldn't just do single setups.
I knew I had to do
some multiple cameras.
But there's only so many cameras
you can put on so many mounts...
hanging off a car
before that starts looking like process.
I wanted a lot of
independent movement...
so we got Pat Hustis to bring
this camera car he invented...
and designed for the movie Bullitt.
He brought this low racing car,
insert car.
I was able to get these cool
low-angle shots of the truck and car.
And also was able to plot the shots.
So I'd put four or five cameras
on a mile stretch of road.
I'd have on one mile run of the truck
chasing the car, I'd get five run-bys.
They'd be all right to left.
Then I simply took the cameras...
took them to the other side
of the road...
which looks different than
the side of the road I was shooting.
When you go to the other side of
the road and look back the other way...
I got five more shots when the truck
and the car were turned...
to their starting positions.
That was the way I was able to quickly
shoot some of the chases in the film.
What took time was more
on the insert car.
We're getting complicated shots
moving in and out of the truck.
Pulling ahead of the truck
where the car comes in the shot.
Letting the car overtake us
and going right into the grill...
with all the dead bugs
I put into the grill of the truck.
And splattered dead bugs
across the windshield.
Things like that took the time,
but things like that created suspense.
I said, "Let's plot the entire
74-minute film...
on an overhead map,
so I can just plot my cameras. "
We did kind of like
a architect's overhead plan...
of all the highways in Pearblossom
and Soledad Canyon and Sand Canyon...
out in Palmdale
where I shot Duel.
Put all of these incidents- the
caf, the phone booth and snake farm-
all the incidents or the set pieces
along the road of the narrative...
on this big overhead map,
and it was a huge mural.
It wrapped around the entire
motel room that I was given...
to stay in for the time
I shot on location.
But I was able, every day,
to make notes on the map
and plot what the menu
was going to be to achieve that day.
The day's work that I needed
to achieve...
in order to stay on schedule
and make a really good movie.
I was able to do it from a bird's -eye
view looking straight down.
I didn't do single storyboard frames.
That would come later in my work.
But on this film, that overview
really helped me understand where I was.
When I jumped out of continuity,
I knew exactly where I was.
The truck was the antagonist.
In the story,
it had to have a personality.
It couldn't just be a sparkling new,
freshly minted truck.
The idea was to make the truck
look like a veteran...
of these road crimes.
This was "murder, incorporated"
on wheels.
There was grease on the windows
and fake dead bugs all over the grill...
