This was a made for tv movie starring Mr Streisand, James Brolin and co-starring the George Barris-built CAR.If you like cult films,it is a must-have in your library. I won't ruin it by giving you a detailed review,but basically the CAR rolls into town and rolls over anyone that gets in it's way!! Who's driving? Why is the CAR taking his road-rage out on the town? Gotta see the movie to find out. If you liked Duel,( Steven Spielberg directed and Dennis Weaver starred in this great flick)you will dig this one too.

The Car [1977]Review created: 11/04/07

) I missed this film when it was first released and it was apparently met with limited success, being overshadowed by STAR WARS. THE CAR is nevertheless one of the great movies of the 1970's, up there with JAWS, DUEL, THE BIG WEDNESDAY, and APOCALYPSE NOW.
THE CAR has a tense quality throughout, with many scenes shot in complete silence, keeping the viewer in anticipation as to where the car will strike next and who will be its next unfortunate victim. There is no back story; no-one knows where the mechanical fiend originated from. It just appears one day, bent on the destruction of a small desert town, casually picking off its inhabitants and any hitchhikers passing through.
James Brolin plays the New Mexico town's sheriff, Wade Parent, who relentlessly pursues the car, trying to obtain a licence plate or a description of the driver. Roadblocks are set up, but the car disappears without a trace following each bloody incident. The question on Wade's mind is: are they dealing with a homicidal maniac - or some dark phantom, a demonic otherworldly apparition?
Disc features: Widescreen Presentation; Full-Frame Presentation; Theatrical Trailer; Talent Biographies.
Cast: James Brolin, Kathleen Lloyd, John Marley, Elizabeth Thompson, and Ronny Cox (DELIVERANCE).
Director: Elliot Silverstein (A MAN CALLED HORSE).
