|---|
Stand Alone was the second film of the night, and it's so obscure that I can't even find a decent screen grab, VHS cover, or title card to use for an image. Stand Alone was released by New World Pictures, whether only to video (most likely) or to theaters I'm not entirely sure. It was made by a one off Texas production company and shot in Dallas though it is set in L.A. I'd love to know the story of how this one got made/pitched; director Alan Beattie (The Rundown) has mostly worked as a producer, while writer Roy Carlson has worked on just two additional films. Was Charles Durning (Breakheart Pass) their first choice to play the lead? Was Durning's son Douglas (who plays Durning's character in flashback) somehow involved, or was he brought on because they needed a younger actor who could plausibly play Durning forty years earlier? Charles Durning has no further credits with the film, so it doesn't seem to be a vanity project.
