1.0 out of 5 stars wrong description, December 3, 2001

By 

"suzlennox" (Hinsdale, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patterns { Rod Serling Show } [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Even though the description indicates this is a video of the 1956 "movie" with Van Heflin, the tape is actually of the TELEVISION show by Rod Serling with Ed Begley. When I called Customer Service, they were not actually able to check what was really in inventory, just would resend OVERNIGHT, which it did not come by. As you can see by the order date, this whole process has taken quite a bit of time, and still I am having to send both tapes back, as they are BOTH of the T. V. show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Serling Television Play, December 19, 2005

By 

Dave S. (Ventura, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patterns { Rod Serling Show } [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is an excellent non sci-fi live television play. It was one of the few - if only - live television plays to be rebroadcast live. "Patterns" is a business psychological drama about a CEO of a company who tries to psychologically intimidate a Vice President into resigning (since at the VP and above level you don't fire staff according to the CEO). This TV play centers around the interaction between the CEO and the VP, the CEO and the person that's supposed to replace the VP (though he wasn't hired knowing this), the CEO and the new hire and the new hire and the VP. This movie seems just as applicable today as it was the decades ago when it was originally broadcast.
