I really think that is not a major flaw.

The Twilight Zone of the 60s has never and never will be recreated. I love it when I go through the guide late at night and old episodes are on.

It truly was a bold move to film a story without dialogue until the last few moments. Your observation is excellent about how important the music is, along with the excellent performance by Agnes. It is an inexpensive set with inexpensive costumes and props. I can't even imagine someone being bold enough to shoot a work like this today.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-90451695593431041592009-10-19T10:06:26.848-04:002009-10-19T10:06:26.848-04:00Thanks every one for all the kind words.

It was used on many other episodes," To Serve Man" "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" to name a few. They would shoot it upside down to make it look different.<br /> Rick as I was rereading the 31 days post's I would have to say so far that Richard Matheson is the star. Having more people know about his work has been the best part of the 31 days.<br /> Dawn have you seen Anges in" Dark Passage" and" Since You Went Away'? She is the perfect "Bitch" in both these films.Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-62024207538956548162009-10-19T09:23:12.030-04:002009-10-19T09:23:12.030-04:00Paul, you really do amazing me on all you know abo...Paul, you really do amazing me on all you know about the movies.<br />Twilight Zone, was one of my favorite TV Shows. it was wonderful to see Agnes Moorehead acting in another role than "Endora" from "Bewitched." Agnes Moorehead, is one of my favorite character actresses.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-16726666851284068932009-10-19T08:22:37.016-04:002009-10-19T08:22:37.016-04:00Paul2, this is a marvelous write-up on one of the ...Paul2, this is a marvelous write-up on one of the best TWILIGHT ZONE episodes! One of my favorite TV reference books is THE TWILIGHT ZONE COMPANION by Marc Scott Zicree. In it, the author quotes a producer who, while discussing that TV is a visual medium, says of this episode: “Well, Matheson wrote that one without one word of dialogue. There were some grunts and screams in it, but no dialogue whatsoever. And it really and truly came to fruition as the kind of visual medium that it is.” By the way, the spacecraft in this episode was one of those used in FORBIDDEN PLANET. Thanks for picking such a cool episode from a great TV series.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-12615572086315510632009-10-19T03:01:34.243-04:002009-10-19T03:01:34.243-04:00Paul, really informative and well-written article....Paul, really informative and well-written article. That episode was always one of my favorites of TZ, and your slant on it with Goldsmith's music is right on. It was always true that those great composers gave TZ stories their haunting quality, and they would not have been the same without it. Even the mediocre episodes were made better by the music. Good job!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.com
