They claim to be digitally remastered, yet there are still a few glitches and snow.
Episode 47 “Night of the Meek” December 23, 1961
As with short TV plays, it is not real-time for a buildup. Art Carney is an out-of-work person who plays Santa Claus. Because of his disappointment in life, he indulges in libations. This leads to his dismissal as a store Santa. I will say no more, as you are about to enter the Twilight Zone.
Things had to move fast as there was only a half-hour to complete the story.
Episode 51 “The Invaders” January 5, 1961
Agnes Moorhead is a woman living alone in an old farmhouse without any conveniences such as electricity. She is preparing supper when she hears a mysterious sound. Something appears to have hit the roof. She goes to investigate. I will say no more, as you are about to enter the Twilight Zone.
This episode, though well played, seems to drag a bit as the woman is spending a lot of time searching around and licking her wounds. She says little (ok nothing) but conveys her part well. See Agnes Moorhead again when she has a lot to say in the movie “Dark Passage.”
Episode 81” Nothing in the Dark,” January 5, 1962
Long after the movie “Death Takes a Holiday”, in this episode, Death (Robert Redford) takes on the appearance of a wounded police officer.
Gladys Cooper plays an old woman afraid of Death. More than the scenario, of which we all know the eventual outcome, is the interaction between the two characters.
