Used Cars (1980)

This crazy romp is now running on a high definition movie satellite channel and it looks like it was done last month. It so happens I was working at the CBS TV station in phoenix in 1980; the producer rented out editing suite for the "style/mile" substitution chicanery scene. Jack Warden sat on his casting chair in the alley behind our building just waiting quietly and patiently and politely to do more

This crazy romp is now running on a high definition movie satellite channel and it looks like it was done last month. It so happens I was working at the CBS TV station in phoenix in 1980; the producer rented out editing suite for the "style/mile" substitution chicanery scene. Jack Warden sat on his casting chair in the alley behind our building just waiting quietly and patiently and politely to do his stuff; there were all kinds of problems getting the specially created videotape images to appear on our monitors without appearing to flicker at the film camera shutter rate. But eventually, the problems were solved. We were the only location in town that had what was then state of the art video editing bay suitable for the scene. I totally agree with the person who called this movie cynical. But it is worth 113 minutes especially in HD. The arizona scenery is fun, too. Anybody know where the big final caravan scene was shot? I am thinking around florence junction on 79.
