Description
Imagine if you will, a young boy with a monstrous imagination. A lad whose fascination with sci-fi magazines and high school drama kindled a spark that would ignite into one of the brightest creative minds of this century. A young boy by the name of Rod Serling. Embark on a fascinating tour of the life of Rod Serling in this "American Masters" special. Learn the fascinating story of how television's most esteemed and popular writer outwitted stifling sponsor censorship by creating a series devoted entirely to fantasy stories--"The Twilight Zone." While censors looked elsewhere, Serling skillfully wrote "fanciful" tales that dealt with controversial issues of the day. Extensive interviews with key figures such as John Frankenheimer, Jack Klugman, Kim Hunter and Buck Houghton provide a detailed portrait of the man whose innovative work changed the course of television history.

Freeze Frame Footage causes buyer's regret.......2006-11-28

After painstakingly searching for Submitted...I finally located a copy on Amazon! But to my amazement...after viewing for a while I noticed "freeze frame in the footage!" I had to rewind a few times and hit play again to continue. Unfortunately I will have to get another copy.

A Great Tribute to "Television's Last Angry Man".......2006-06-26

I just watched this excellent dvd from the CBS "Masterworks" series, and couldn't be more impressed with it. It is a real "labor of love", done in the style of an old Twilight Zone episode with the voice of Rod narrating a flashback through his career, using actual film clips (some from some of his very early & hard-to-find works...) as the basis of the narrative. Marc Scott Zicree (the author of the authoritative guide to TZ) was the writer of the script, and he manages to hit most of the major points in succinct fashion. The many famous writers and actors Rod worked with are all interviewed throughout, as well as old archival kinetoscopes which were dug up of his interview with Mike Wallace. Also glimpsed are the commercials Serling unforunately owered himself to doing toward the end of his career. An excellent companion to the book I used as the title of this review.

I am only doing this cause amazon sent me an email asking if i want to...so i though..."what the heck"...........It was very good...would have liked bonus features...but the movie itself is worth the purchase in my opinion.
