Federal agent Richard Chance (William Petersen) has a score to settle, and he’s through playing by the rules. Whether that means blackmailing a beautiful parolee, disobeying direct orders or hurtling the wrong way down a crowded freeway, he vows to take down a murderous counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe) by any means necessary. But as the stakes grow higher, will Chance’s dark obsession with vengeance destroy him?

- I wanna get Rick Masters. - I've taken four falls, I've never ratted anybody in my life, and I've had plenty of chances, believe me. - Masters is your friend. I don't blame you, I would never hang up a friend. Anybody who would is a piece of shit. Thing is, your friend tried to have you iced. - That doesn't mean I'm gonna roll over and play informer. If you're looking for a pigeon, go to the park.

So I have a thing where, if I find out a movie or something I watched was based on a book, I have to go find the book to read it and compare.

I noticed a ton of Bradford Dillman’s scripts were up for sale on eBay, including the one for One Away. (Compulsion wasn’t there- I’m betting that sold pretty quickly.) The front page noted it was by the author, who’d written the book of the same name. I found it in my library consortium and hopefully I should get it soon.

Other book adaptations Dean’s been in:

The Valley of Decision (by Marcia Davenport) The Green Years (by A. J. Cronin) Home Sweet Homicide (by Craig Rice. I read this one, thought it kinda read like a wish fulfillment fantasy? It was sweet but a bit not quite realistic enough?) Gentleman’s Agreement (by Laura Z. Hobson) Deep Waters (by Ruth Moore) The Secret Garden (by Frances Hodgson Barnett. I read this one as a kid) Stars in My Crown (by Joe David Brown) The Happy Years (The Lawrenceville Stories by Owen Johnson) Kim (by Rudyard Kipling. I have this on my Kindle and keep reading it in bits and pieces.) Compulsion (by Meyer Levin. Technically, this is an adaptation of the Broadway play, which in itself adapted the book.) Buick Electra Playhouse “The Killers” (by Ernest Hemingway) Sons and Lovers (by D. H. Lawrence. I’ve read this one- it’s DENSE.) Alfred Hitchcock Presents “The Landlady” (by Roald Dahl) Alfred Hitchcock Hour “Annabel” (The Sweet Sickness by Patricia Highsmith. Compared to the book, the episode sucks. XD It adapts a tiny chunk of the novel and I liked seeing the whole psychological unspooling of David spread out better. Plus there’s a parallel I keep forgetting to put up...) Kraft Suspense Theatre “Their Own Executioners” (by Robert Cenadella) Rapture (by Phyllis Hastings) The Dunwich Horror (by H. P. Lovecraft. I love that Dean was a fan of Lovecraft, but I tried reading through a bit of this and just couldn’t get through it. Sorry, but I can’t really stand Lovecraft in longer doses) Night Gallery “Whisper” (by Martin Waddell) Orson Welles’ Great Mysteries “Unseen Alibi” (by Bruce Graeme) She Came to the Valley (by Cleo Dawson. I read this one, thought it was okay but not exactly film-worthy?) Born to be Sold (by Lynne McTaggart. Reviews for this book don’t even pop up, so it must’ve been a flash in the pan) Wrong is Right (The Better Angels by Charles McCarry) Alsino and the Condor (Alsino by Pedro Padro. I don’t think there’s an English translation of this novel?) Dune (by Frank Herbert) To Live and Die in L. A. (by Gerald Petievich) Papa Was a Preacher (by Alyene Porter. I read this. It was cute, but the movie took a ton of liberties to adapt it into a linear order. Plus Dean’s hobo angel character isn’t even in the book either!) Gardens of Stone (by Nicholas Proffitt) The Long Haul (by Oswaldo França Jr. Again, another novel without a translation) Deadline for Murder (The Corpse Had a Familiar Face by Edna Buchanan) The Langoliers (by Stephen King. I read this years before actually watching the movie, and I’m too traumatized by another story in the same collection to pick it up again) The Rainmaker (by John Grisham. I read this at some point) Water Damage (by Gregory Ward) What Katy Did (by Susan Coolidge. I read an excerpt from this book as a kid but never got around to reading the whole thing) Buffalo Soldiers (by Robert O’Connor) The Manchurian Candidate (by Richard Condon. Technically a remake of the movie which adapted that book) C. O. G. (”Naked” by David Sedaris) Deep in the Darkness (by Michael Laimo)

#dean stockwell #also there is a correlation between the writer & director being the same and the movie sucking #i think cq is the exception to that on dean's filmography?
