Girls, Join Us Tonight, As "Svengoolie" Presents A Rarity, A TV Movie By A Then Up And Comer.....Steven Spielberg!!!!!!!!!!!!! As For "Sventoonie," Well.......


                          Girls, it is another made-for-television movie, but this time with some street cred.  Who knew when this film was first aired in 1971, that the director, Steven Spielberg, would go on to be the most iconic name in Hollywood, since David O. Selznick?



                              You may be asking--Steven Spielberg?  Of "Jaws" and "Schindler's List?"  That's right, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                All I can tell you about "Duel," and it's not much, is that it is based on a Richard Matheson short story, wherein Dennis Weaver is pursued by a psychopathic truck, in the manner of Stephen King's "Christine."  Except there are other actors in the film, so it is not just Weaver and an unknown truck.  But the footage sure makes it seem like that.


                            So, tune in, at 8PM tonight, and find out for yourselves, dolls!  Imagine, "Svengoolie" showing such a film, from an iconic filmmaker!



                                As for "Sventoonie--"

                                    Well, he is showing a made -for- television film, too.  But one that should be a hoot!  First of all, look at that cast!   They all must have need the cash, back then.  And who knew made-for-television movies began as early as 1967?


                                       The plot sounds hilarious.  Martin Landau, an avocational paranormal investigator, is hired by heiress Diane Baker to get rid of her dead bitch mother-n-law, (Judith Andreson, once more cashing in on her Mrs. Danvers persona) who keeps haunting her.  I cannot wait to see the exchanges in this deconstruction between mother and daughter-in-law!   


                                          So, this should provide an evening of fun.   Imagine, two TV movies back-to-back.  At least "Sventoonie" is back in the game, with "The Ghost Of Sierra De Cobre.'  Unlike last week, which I would rather forget.


                                           Don't you forget to tune in, girls.  Eight o' clock for "Svengoolie," and ten thirty for "Sventoonie."


                                             See you then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
