Our latest "Twilight Zone" episode is from 1961, "A Quality of Mercy."
A very young and reed thin Dean Stockwell is the lead character, but in the supporting cast is Leonard Nimoy of #StarTrek fame.
@WordsmithFL My childhood TV viewing was filled with the Twilight Zone. The first cuts were the deepest.
@elbutterfield I'm continually impressed by not only the writing, but the casting and performances. Quite hard to do when it's an anthology format, all actors are guest actors, and have to find their character in a week.
@elbutterfield Just watched the next episode. It featured a very young Robert Redford. What a run of talented young actors.
@WordsmithFL It's like a Who's Who of great actors from that era. They all got their start on Twilight Zone.
@WordsmithFL It was the "seat of your pants" time of television. Whole scripts and productions were created and performed in a day, or a week.
