For such a tall door, the precision of the carpentry is something to behold. When the door is closed, you see that the hinges, which on most doors would be visible from the side into which the door swings, are not visible, indicating that they must be more like modern hidden cabinet hinges, and the middle of the doors meet so precisely so as not to permit light from the background to show through the gap between them, the entire effect making the doors vanish into the wall. Truly monumental attention to detail for a set piece that would only see a few minutes of screen time.

[@ricknineg]

Herb, I’m not sure if you were a Carpenter but I appreciate that comment. I can just imagine the difficulty in creating a working door like this for this production. I had no idea about all the details that you mentioned. Thank you for contributing to us more about this. Thank you for your thoughts and support

This is my favorite episode of the Twilight Zone, followed by He's Alive and Jess-belle.

Hey Rick, I am fascinated by early television & how scenes were created. The Twilight Zone was one series that was really good at creating illusions with props & camera angles, things that would be considered crood by today's standards with all the technology used now. To me seeing something like a 25 foot tall door, knowing that someone had to build it makes it that much more special!!! Thanks for sharing a very interesting video!!! 👍👍

[@ricknineg]

Doesn’t that truly make it so special though? I really agree. I can tell you that I respect this episode so much more after paying attention to the sets and façades used for it. Now, even more so with the doors

Brugess Meredith and Jack Klugman tie for the most starring roles in Twilight Zone episodes. Also, if you read The Twilight Zone Companion by Marc Scott Zicree, the origin of the door is mentioned.

[@JOECANDELA22]

Yes they both did 4 episodes each and a close 2nd place prize goes to young Bill Mumy (Will Robinson for "Lost in Space") who did 3 episodes. As a matter of fact Mumy and Klugman both starred in an episode together playing father and son. The name of the episode was "In Praise of Pip".

[@TheUluxian]

Burgess was also the narrator for the Twilight Zone movie. He also did 2 appearances on Night Gallery

From what I've read, an actor named Vaughn Taylor, who appeared w/ Burgess Meredith in "Time Enough at Last" as Henry Bemis' boss, holds the record for overall appearances on TZ at 5, though he never had a starring role.

[@garyreid6165]

The lighting was also worthy of note. The contrast of light and shadow in that room was perfect. It might also be hiding the fact that there are probably more people in that room. When we are in Romney Wordsworth’s apartment the contrast is bright and welcoming. 25 feet for a doorway is pretty impressive. Imagine if that door was used in the classic episode “To Serve Man.” If they lighting was a little darker, the Kanamit(played by Richard Kiel)would loom even larger in appearance.

The Obsolete Man is one of my favourites. Probably because there are some Americans today wants America to turn into that type of society.

This is one of my favorite TZ episodes. The black walls and exaggerated lengths of table, door, and dais evoke feelings of despair & insignificance in the people being subjugated by the state.

How do you open a 25' pair of doors? Probably with a pneumatic or hydraulic system.

The symbology to convey the State acting like a counterfeit deity is well done.

[@robparry-n7w]

Burgess Meredith was a bookworm in Time Enough At Last , now a librarian in this one. A good ' what if ' view of the future and man's inventions. Think about the vcr and how amazing it was to see a new movie in your home. Now the vcr and the theater seem obsolete , with money interests trying to stamp them out. I still enjoy watching my old movies on my vcr , kill me if you can. Life goes on , new inventions come and go , but it is the motive behind eliminating things that will make them live or die. Books as a source of knowledge and wisdom will never die, and those who ignore them or read digital can never eliminate them. Getting lost in the pages of a good book will always be something a majority of humans crave. Stories of the human condition have been told and written for centuries.

[@chrisnurczyk8239]

Interesting commentary, but you could take it to the obvious logical conclusion. Rod Serling was always warning about fascism taking over a society (his episodes 'Third from the Sun' and 'He Lives' are prime examples), especially by way of propaganda. In 'The Obsolete Man' , one of my personal favorites, the stage set for the trials has the pieces patterned after what the Nazis used in their rallies. The tall, thin spire reaching high above in many guises was their trademark. Think of the rallies that Hitler and his henchmen had - always a tall dais, w/a towering set of pillars with the Nazi banner reaching far upwards behind them. And the banner almost always waved. Just in case there wasn't a wind to do so, there was a special electric-motored machine that assured it would happen. Structure & propaganda to make you feel insignificant - except as a cog in the state machine. This Twilight Zone episode shows how it can be updated & used by others, even w/out a banner - did you notice?
