Movie Title: The Twilight Zone: Vol. 3 The Twilight Zone: Vol. 3 is available for streaming or downloading. |
When purchasing a DVD on any of the “Twilight Zone” episodes, I think it is safe to say that in the majority of cases the buyer knows those stories by heart. The main concern is one of quality. How does the picture measure up? In this case I have never seen better transfers. The images are excellent. They are sharp, clear and maintain consistent contrast. The laserdisc versions had a problem with black & white contrast. That problem has now been corrected.
Volume 3 contains A GAME OF POOL, KICK THE CAN, STEEL and WALKING DISTANCE. This volume is one of the best containing all solid episodes. WALKING DISTANCE is probably the best episode ever produced. Gig Young acts out Serling’s prose so perfectly that he speaks for every man that ever wished he could go home again. Very moving. Bernard Herrmann’s score intuitively picks up the emotion and heartfelt sincerity that Serling wrote into this story. This was Rod Serling’s, Bernard Herrmann’s and Gig Young’s finest work for any medium. I think it is the finest piece of work ever put on film. KICK THE CAN is thematically similar and also very moving. Again one of the best. A GAME OF POOL and STEEL pits man against the legends he makes and the machines he builds. STEEL is an episode that doesn’t instantly hit you. It has to grow on you and that may take years.
Rod Serling was a man of great literary and social intellect, somewhat ignored because of the genre he worked within and was famous for. “The Twilight Zone” frequently bordered on the edges of science fiction if not immersed in it. Society’s values being what they are, science fiction has never been thoroughly embraced by conventional thought as a legitimate literary or cinematic art form. That is society’s loss and Serling’s heartbreak. However, “The Twilight Zone” still endures. WALKING DISTANCE will remain in the heart forever.
Vol. 3 of the Twilight Zone DVD series is one in which every episode is a winner. The worst of the four, “Steel,” is a very good tale of what men think they can do themselves to bring themselves out of a difficult situation. “Kick the Can” is a touching episode that makes us reflect on fleeting youth and the idea that you are only as old as you feel. “A Game of Pool” is an example of superb acting. Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters deliver more tension and excitement than any current television drama. Finally, “Walking Distance” is a brilliant look at trying to recapture youth and going home again.
On most other Zone DVDs, buyers are forced to stomach at least one lousy episode along with their favorites. This disc is an exception. Sure, the extras are not very “extra,” but for your money, Vol. 3 contains some of the best Twilight Zone episodes on one disc.
