5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Joke, Post-Apocalypse Scenery, Melancholy and a Changeling., January 16, 2008

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Vol. 4 (DVD)

From my teens this is one of the series that I more fondly remember. As a sci-fi fan I was attracted by "The Twilight Zone" proposal. At that time I wasn't able to see more than a score of episodes, but they remain in my memory with extraordinary persistence.
Thanks to the technological marvel of DVD I'm able to see these amazing stories again and find them as magical & thought provoking as 45 years ago.
As the structure of the episodes are mostly bounded to a surprise ending or to the argument in a very short span of time of 25 minutes each, I'll focus my review more on outstanding features than on the topic of the episode in order not to spoil the pleasure of the viewer.

Disk 4 contains four excellent chapters; one of them is an exception to the usual Twilight Zone stuff.

1) Mr. Dingle, the Strong - Incredible! This is a joke, a whole comedic episode done tongue in cheek.
Burgess Meredith impersonates a feeble door-to-door seller permanently abused by a bully bar customer. Meredith will be best known by his characterization of The Penguin at "Batman" series and latter on by his impersonation of Mickey, Rocky's manager.
Suddenly invisible aliens mingle into human affairs starting a chain of comedic situations.
Qualification: 10.

2) Two - The story is rather simple in post-apocalyptic scenery an enemy couple is suddenly faced with each other.
The "bonus" of the episode resides in who the actors are. Nonetheless that Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery, best know as Samantha in "Bewitched".
The story was written & directed by talented Montgomery Pittman who died less than a year after.
Qualification: 10.

3) A Passage for Trumpet - A distressed & alcoholic musician jumps to suicide & enters The Twilight Zone.
It is an episode written by Rod Sterling in person delivering a nice story full of "Bradburian" resonances, urban scenery, and jazz music.
Jack Klugman impersonates Joey with outstanding brilliance & charisma. Fortunately for TLZ fans he will perform in several episodes of the series.
Qualification: 10.

4) The Four of Us Are Dying - A con-man is able to change his face to resemble whoever he wants.
We have again a story written by George C. Johnson with his usual skill.
Once more as in the previous episode excellent cinematography in charge of George Clemens contributes to the excellence of this chapter. Clemens won Emmy Award 1961 and nominations for the same honor 1962 & 1963 all due to several episodes of this series.
Special mention must be done for the charming & glamorous performance of Beverly Garland as Maggie the singer.
Qualification: 10.

This DVD series presentation has two great advantages: it has a very good price and allows buyers to choose their favorite chapters without needing to buy the whole series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Vol. 4, May 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Vol. 4 (DVD)

Two - a big nuclear war is over and only two people are left on earth, a man and a woman. Good episode.

The four of us are dying - A man has the ability to turn into anyone he wants. It sounds good but gives him a certain problem, average

A Passage for trumpet - a drunk trumpet player sells his trumpet and meets an angel, then his life gets better, good

Mr. Dingle the strong - a loser gets great strength from aliens that changes his life. Best one in this Vol.

Mr Dingle the Strong-Great episode! But in my opinion is the second best episode on this disc. Still every episode of Twilight Zone with Bergess Meredith is a good one. Two-Has always been one of my favorites. Stars Elizabeth Montgomery & Charles Bronson. These two episodes make the DVD worth buying. The other two episodes are good but not the best.
