Twilight zone was so far ahead of it's time.

[@GradyPhilpott]

Ever hear of Edward Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Mary Shelley, Victor Hugo, or Jules Verne?

[@ralphadamo1857]

Terrific story and teleplay. But the acting is what makes this episode so magical, particularly the interplay between the fulfiller of needs, Ernest Truex, and evil, greedy Steve Cochran. Both were exceptional Shakespearian actors on stage. Truex later specialized in gentle, avuncular characters, while Cochran excelled at playing gangster characters. Their backgrounds dovetail well here.

[@movienerd202]

Cochran was an interesting character off-screen. He spent a lot of time in the tabloids. Even his death was a scandal.

[@Madasin_Paine]

Interesting. And are not looks deceiving, too? Old is renew, again.

[@michaelcanty4940]

Always wanted an episode of Cheers to reenact this Zone. Sam gets a ticket to a manager job. Diane finds true love and maybe Cliff gets slightly bumped by a Segway.

[@woodychadwick9834]

When morals were taught.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

By example, rather than by principle.

[@vxy357]

Amen to that!

[@Wolfwood2057]

@Steve Kelsey Doesn't mean morals weren't taught. You could say they were taught when they were needed most.

[@Wolfwood2057]

@Steve Kelsey Morals taught doesn't mean morals taken. Your argument is essentially that morals aren't being taught unless they are in an era where they're already understood. You look at an episode like "I Am the Night-Color Me Black" and tell me they weren't 'trying' to teach about racism. yes, bad, racist things happened in the time when Twilight Zone happened. Twilight Zone went against that grain. You're blaming the teacher when in this case the student was at fault.

[@Wolfwood2057]

@Steve Kelsey Of course not. I think what the writer of the comment meant is that it's an example of the media being used to teach, not people in general. Morals will be taught for as long as we exist, so if we try to apply that to 'everything' of course it's going to be skewered.

[@luisreyes1963]

You skipped my favorite line which was "Patience. That's another thing you need. Patience." It's what I tell myself when I need to be more patient-to be honest I think we all need that!

[@paulroberts9483]

I lost my Patience, she ran off with another fella! (Those that don't get it, the girls name was Patience)

[@usmale4915]

@@paulroberts9483 I thought your last line was going to be: So I hooked up with Prudence! I knew you were talking about the name Patience, and yes I am old, so that's how I knew! And then there's the song "Tonight You Belong To Me" by sisters named Patience and Prudence! Good song, by the way!

[@Madasin_Paine]

[@satireisnotdead5804]

I particularly liked the soundtrack for this one, whimsical and yet mysterious like the salesman. This was also one of the few times that I didn't have sympathy for one of the "normal" protagonists in the show, definitely loads of guys like him knocking about these days. You quite often encounter them when you're out on the town, needlessly aggressive people always looking for a fight. Also I really like how pleased he looks when he helps everything fall into place for Lefty and the woman in the booth, and Lefty going from thinking he's an old crackpot to being in awe and respectful of him in the space of a few minutes.

T'Pring. Arlene Sax. Arlene Martel. She's featured in many TV shows, including one of the best Outer Limits, Demon With a Glass Hand starring Robert Culp. I think my favorite bit she did was an episode of Battlestar Galactica in which she asks Starbuck, 'what is star buckin?'

[@sergusbower1270]

Phenomenal episode and I love Steve. Covers everything

[@calvinjackson538]

He has the uncanny ability to know EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED, BEFORE you need it!!! Scary!!Even at the end, in the middle of the night he gives this man a COMB!The part that always scared me the most was when he gave that man those scissors s and told him "they are what you need, they really are. Take them." And they saved his worthless life! My hair stood up on end when he was catching his breath and the camera focused on those scissors lying on the elevator floor and he picks them up and looks at them. Look like this near death experience would have made a better man of him. No he just kept being evil. But it all ended when that car hit him.

Steve Cochran recruited three young women to accompany him on a sailing trip from Acapulco to Costa Rica, ostensibly to take part in an upcoming film. A few days into the trip, the yacht lost one of its two masts in a storm. Shortly thereafter, Cochran fell ill, and died two days later on June 15, 1965 at the age of 48, of what was later determined to be an acute lung infection. The women who were accompanying him did not know how to sail the boat, and were trapped with the decomposing body for ten days, before being rescued out at sea. The boat, still carrying his corpse, was later found drifting off the coast of Guatemala.[24][25][26][27] Cochran's widow was given half of his estate of $25,000. She shared it with his daughter by another marriage.[28]
