If you remember the 1971 thriller "Duel", this movie is right up the alley. However, it like a cross between "Duel" and "Psycho", only mobile. A bold news reporter(Shelly Hack, Tiffany Wells on "Charlie's Angels) makes a report about highway killer who uses his van to run off women drivers. Named The Highway Fiddler, known for playing bluegrass music in his van, he targeted those who are driving alone on the highways. There were some survivors on the lunatic. And one received a ticket from the highway patrol. She did get upset about it. Better than dead I would say.
It's got an all-star cast: Peter Graves of "Mission: Impossible" fame, Dinah Shore, Abe Vigoda of "Barney Miller" and his short-lived spinoff "Fish", George Hamilton who did "Love at First Bite" at the same time. And countless others as well. I enjoyed it very well. It almost look like an episode of "CHiPs". I think it's a very good TV movie.
3 out of 5 stars
