Title: Movin' On - Roadblock - Season 1 Episode 2
Director: John Peyser
Details: Action Drama; Release date (September 19, 1974)
Starring: Claude Akins, Frank Converse, Mackenzie Phillips, Richard Jaeckel
Synopsis: Sonny finds himself in over his head when agrees to take Chessie (Mackenzie Phillips), the teenage daughter of fellow trucker Red Wallace (Richard Jaeckel) to her mother's house after explaining to Sonny that he can't take her along on a cross-coutry run. Sonny becomes suspicious of Red's story after Chessie attempts to escape and is caught in multiple lies.
Quick Review: Decent follow up to episode 1 with Mackenzie Phillips essentially reprising the role of a precocious teen much like her part in American Grafitti. Jaeckel doesn't have much screen time as most of the episode deals with Will and Sonny trying to keep up with Chessie. Interesting location shots capture the feel of time period nicely.
Rating: C+
