Flimsy story even having a promising premise!!
22 October 2023
Since The Twilight Zone became a full length fifty minutes long this certainly it was one the most slow paced story ever, even starting with a fair premise, Horace (Pat Hingle) shooting his friend Leonard (Philip Pine) at office with a notable sense of black humor from a man who didn't grow up yet, often remembering of his golden age at Randolph street when he was a ten years old, his most happiest time ever as he hardly implied by all ears, meanwhile his creative genius as toy's designer is about to be pruned due the highest coast of manufacturing becoming it almost too much expensive to be a fair return on sales.

His co-work pal Leonard advises him over make a simplify toy as suggested by his boss Mr. Judson (Vince Vaughn), in the meantime his wife Laura (Nan Martin) prepares to Horace a surprise birthday party to next weekend, nonetheless the upset man wonder see again his old neighborhood at Randolf street struck in a past scene, over and over again whenever he goes there, always dropping his watch at the sidewalk, thus every single night a little boy brings back his watch puzzling his wife, Horace stayed a loath man ever since, backing at Randoph street to find an answer to this odd event.

A pointless presentation saved by a convincing performance of Pat Hingle as good nature Horace, also the little boy whom he lives on the past there, the teethless boy steals the show often he appears on the episode, including the final scene.

Thanks for reading
