unnamed truck driver
matheson's script made explicit that the unnamed truck driver, the villain of the film, is unseen aside from the shots of his arms and boots that were needed to convey the plot. in the dvd documentary, spielberg observes that fear of the unknown is perhaps the greatest fear of all and that "duel" plays heavily to that fear. throughout the film, the driver of the truck remains anonymous and unseen, with the exception of three separate shots, where the stunt driver can be seen in the truck's cab, where his arm waves weaver on into oncoming traffic, and another shot where weaver observes the driver's snakeskin boots. his motives for targeting weaver's character are never revealed, but the truck had numberplates from every state. spielberg says that the effect of not seeing the driver makes the real villain of the film the truck itself, rather than the driver.

the pamphlet was published 1935 by the harding commercial printery, kingston with a cover featuring two crossed keys and the name of the pamphlet's putative patron, "dr. nnamdi azikiwe, editor of the african morning post, accra, gold coast." nnamdi azikiwe was the editor of that newspaper at that period, but whether he had encouraged the pamphlet in any way or this was a dedication is not known.
