You’ve just experienced FRED Watch.
A note on the year of release: Duel debuted on the United States’s ABC television network on Saturday, 13 November 1971 and is therefore almost always given that year as its release. However, an additional fifteen minutes were added for Duel‘s international theatrical release the following year. It is this version the FRED Watch team have reviewed, hence the film’s release year referenced as 1972 in our podcast.
