The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Duel starting early at 7 p.m. followed by White Line Fever at 8:45 p.m. In the former, a tractor-trailer chases a man through a lonely highway; in the latter, a trucker fights back against people ruining his industry. Duel was once one of my favorite obscure movies — and has a tendency to polarize viewers as it's just a guy in a car and a truck for pretty much the whole thing. White Line Fever stars Jan-Michael Vincent long before he was in Airwolf, his last (Hollywood-wise) starring role.
