The Twilight Zone - Vol. 37 Reviews
Comme-ci, Comme-ca
This is not one of the better volumes in the Twilight Zone collections, but I still enjoyed it. In the first story, "Hocus-Pocus And Frisby"(good title), Andy Devine plays Frisby, a big blowhard whose boasts force aliens to kidnap him. In the second story, "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville", Albert Salmi plays William Feathersmith, a financier who the Devil(a very fetching Julie Newmar) sends back in time to 1910 to start over. In the final story, "Mr. Garrity and the Graves", John Dehner plays Mr. Garrity, a con man who claims he can bring back the dead. But the townspeople pay him, not to resurrect the dead, but to unresurrect them. There was only one episode I didn't like here: "Of Late..." wasn't a good story; it was predictable and I didn't like the age makeup, it wasn't convincing enough. However, I enjoyed the two other stories. "Hocus Pocus and Frisby" was a comedy/fantasy that had a good ending, similar to "the boy that cried wolf". "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" was funny, too. John Dehner's performance was really marvelous. I give this set a 3 because I didn't like the music they used in the two episodes "Hocus-Pocus" and "Mr. Garrity" because I don't enjoy "Old-Western" harmonica.
"Of Late..." is a gem...
..."Of Late I Think of Cliffordville" is the reason for this DVD to be sought after...Julie Newmar of course steals the show, though Albert Salmi is not without interest (but it is his weakest TZ episode...see "A Quality of Mercy" for his best TZ performance [there were three total]). Unfortunately "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby" and fifth season "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" are not as commendable. However, like almost all TZ episodes, they are of great merit in comparison to the vast majority of things being aired on television then or now. The hour long episode DVD's are especially valuable because these fourth season episodes are rarely shown at all in syndication (and of course TZ is always cut in syndication anyway).
