Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy 100th birthday, Rod Serling!

She's a genius. She made better covers than the beatles version. Great singers.

Why did I hear him say Ron Serling

Even more relevant today.

I love his defiance of minimization at Mike Wallace’s cheap comments. Rod was so eloquent & able to get his point across in a much sharper way than his interviewer. He created a fantastic, progressive show & I’m thrilled to hear him sticking up for his beliefs here. A hero I’m glad I ‘got to know’.

This movie inspired me to vote. After learning all these women suffered I decided to vote.

How can have this interview been taken in 1959? Requiem for a Heavyweight was 1962.

Lunatic fringe= todays cancel culture

4 pack a day and other factors but I wonder if he ruffled feathers and was feared as a loose gun in Hollywood and how much more did he have to say? Total legend!

The best thing ever created

Rod the most creative Unitarian

we will not return again

Love Rod. He was clearly gaslighting Mike Wallace when he said he wasn't going to write anything socially relevant. He cleverly hid his social commentary behind science fiction stories. He could write about the Vietnam War but make them Martians thereby avoiding any conflict from touchy sponsors.

The flip side of Rod Serling was a gangster mafioso named Frank Costello. Also known as The Prime Minister. For the reason of bringing what was actually corrupt politicians to join hands with the Italian Mafia. What Mr. Serling did was bridhe the gap between a simple mind and one that is one of the unlimited potential and kinetic possibilities of the human mind. He is beyond brilliant. Anyone who swings around the simple term of 'genius' be warned! Your parents are going to The Twilight Zone. Or just relax and watch the entirety of Mr. Sterlings work and just as importantly his genous and amazingly complelling interviews.

I think it’s absolutely horrible that this movie doesn’t have a Blu-ray

we all have brainrot

If anyone can direct me to more Rod Serling audio, I would be forever grateful 🙏

Never met this man but I miss him so much. A man of integrity, character, compassion, and intelligence.

Rod Serling exists as one of the finest writers and creators of television ever. The Twilight Zone was deeply inspirational as a child growing up in the 70s watching reruns - TZ encapsulates all that is great about storytelling: he is one of the motivating sources behind my drive to continue making quality documentary films: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3PGaGBrnKaGn5I

I’ve said it for years, if there’s one person I could go back in time to talk to it would be this man Rod Serling.

and now some TV shows have proven themselves to be better than most movies!

Rod, the genius. I still binge on The Twilight Zone. What a brilliant man he was.

First, I watched this in high school ❤.

I am watching this because of Christian Prince... he told me about this movie

Marvelous movie!

I love the twilight zone. Rod Serling is a very intelligent man we could all learn a lot from his life.

A most eloquent and brilliant man he was.

wow, this is all still relevant today. we are standing still

Did he say cyanide was what was used in the gas chambers? Im in my mid-30's and every book ive read, (my schools books were already outdated when i was at school) said the germans used Zyklon-B. Maybe I misheard from the older recording. Either way, i have been a huge fan since i was single digits in age, im really glad we have these old interviews. His convictions were so admirable and he seemed go address everything with a critical mind.

Rod was a rare man, intelligent, acutely aware, imaginative and deeply human. We owe this man a lot

genius..

Rod Had a great imagination

The CIA killed Rod Serling in hospital in Rochester NY

I'll add that this was from the third season of the MIKE WALLACE INTERVIEW series...after two seasons of constant hassle with ABC, the last season of the series was on the NTA Film Network, a smaller network that popped up as the DuMont and Paramount Television Networks were shutting down. One wonders how much static ABC would've given him for interviewing a writer/producer of a new CBS series.

I love this. I just saw it on my feed. I'm 43, and I grew up with the Twilight Zone. Rod is amazing. He inspired me to write plays.

At 5:56 Serling perfectly describes the cancel culture of his era, and what are the overly sensitive keyboard warriors of today.

Censorship is a big problem in 2023 with the "woke" "cancel culture" stuff going on. We have been de evolving since the 1980s.

Passing away,too Young 👽

This man was genius....

Remarkable. This man is the very definition of articulate

This is a fine interview by Wallace of a dramatic genius and future icon.

Well I've listened a lot and nothing beats this original and no cover can cover those tones. An inspiration you two are. Hey but I'm trying! Rose E

Serling was a treasure, and Wallace was easily one of the top 3 interviewers in the history of American television. Thanks for posting this.

@Cincinnati World Cinema: It would be great if you would make it so that this video is accessible to picture-in-picture, so that it can be watched/listened to inside and outside of the YT app. Thanx!

Man oh Man... There has never been another like Rod. Every night before I got to bed I watch an old episode of The Twilight Zone.

A soft spoken beautifully creative man, grew up with (some might say in) the Twilight Zone and enjoyed every minute. Thank you Mr. Serling!

These two could have made a hell of a cigarette ad

One great thing Serling did was giving up a job that he was dissatisfied with in Cincinnati, not to pursue a dream job but to go down a path toward a talent he believed in and thought he was good at.

I mourned when he passed away.
