Review Review of the Second Edition: "To obtain a clearer picture of Duel, Green interviewed actors, directors, producers and writers who worked with him, as well as his sister, Pamela Deuel, and several of his girlfriends, including Kim Darby. Green also touches upon the effects of suicide on those left behind. We could have had so many great Duel performances to cherish. One can only speculate as to the heights he might have reached. But fans around the world continue to embrace those that he did complete during his far too brief lifetime. And they will be grateful to Green for this sympathetic, comprehensive biography."
