Treasures of The Twilight Zone Reviews
Problem For Collectors
As a collector who has all 43 Volumes of The Twilight Zone, I was taken back when I found out episodes: "An Occurance At Owl Creek Bridge", "The Masks" and "The Howling Man" were not included. These three together would have made Vol. 44, or in which ever sequence they could be placed. So now, I have episodes I already have included with the missing ones that should have been there to start with. However, I was told these predate the Volume series and everything's been done ramshackle, because not everyone is willing to pay the retail $900 for all episodes.
I'll give the content 5 stars, and if you want just a few episodes this the way to go. But, for collectors of the entire series it's sad they didn't stuff in those 3 episodes, with 2 being on "More Treasues of The Twilight Zone".
So-so overall
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is really good - but it wasn't even a TZ derived show. It won an Oscar and other awards as a French short film, however. During the Civil War, a man is sentenced to death by hanging and has a nice fantasy on the way down.
"The Encounter" between hate-filled Marine versus repressed Japanese-American apparently was never in the re-run loop. Rather bad acting and somewhat silly premise. Only interesting for George Takei ("Sulu" from Star Trek).
"Where Is Everybody?" asks Earl Holliman. Possibly interesting premise but his continuous talking out loud gets tedious. Kinda lame ending.
DVD includes a short "pitch" film to be shown to adverstisers, and a nice 1959 interview with Mike Wallace which might be the actual treasure.
