Title: Jan & Dean movie
Post by: Forshorn on July 04, 2012, 10:48:41 AM


This is hard to find; I've been looking for it: the made-for-TV movie "Deadman's Curve." Not "Citizen Kane," but cool. Anyway, if anyone is interested and it's not against the rules..... here's a link!

For whatever reason, the flick is kind of hard on Jan.

Been wanting to see this for so long although there are a lot of mistakes in the movie as I have heard. Thanks.


I think the actors do their job very well, although "Jan" doesn't look that much like the real Jan.

I remember seeing this when it first aired in early 1978. Haven't seen it since ... so thanks for the link! I can never see Bruce Davison in anything---and he seems to be in everything---without remembering watching this. And Jan is Captain Apollo/Zarek... ha. 

In case anybody is interested (and hasn't seen it), the Rolling Stone article that inspired the movie is online at author Paul Morantz's website (along with a nice story about how it ended up on the internet):

If it wasn't for Nixon, Jan  Dean would've been on the cover of Rolling Stone.
