Night Moves

The term Dave's title plays on was known in 1943 from railroads shifting rolling stock overnight. In the years since it has acquired considerable cultural presence, first as the title of a 1974 noir film starring Gene Hackman, whose character plays chess (with tricky 'knight moves'). In 1976 Bob Seger took it as the title of a song about adolescent love, saying the impetus came from 'American Graffiti'. Seger's song subsequently appeared in the movies 'FM' and 'American Pop', Then in 2013 it became the title of another thriller movie, directed by Kelly Reichardt.
