As a graduate student studying script writing, I enjoyed and appreciated the final clip. Rod hits the nail on the head regarding the problematic approach in college level courses. We need more hands on experience. I wish Rod taught film at my school. RIP to both Rod and Carol Serling!!

Thank you for sharing your creative gift with the world, Mr. Serling. Rest in Peace and Blessed Be.

@@frankdenardo8684 Yes Rod Serling was in the US Army during WW2 seeing combat

Rod Serling had a great voice for narrating documentaries.

Fascinating man.

Incredible man. Sublime mind. Love Rod Serling. Thanks so much for posting

My father served in the same Pacific theater battles as Mr. Serling. The nightmares stayed with him until his death at 96. He smoked 2 packs of Camel studs a day from '46-75 when he quit and got another 40 years (They got 2 packs of Lucky's daily in combat).

I think Raoul Trujillo would be perfect for a remake of twilight zone, they look alike

The 'Twilight Zone' episode 'Walking distance' is quality drama and commercial. A brilliant piece of writing and performance.

Oscar winning actor Gig Young guest starred.

I remember as a young boy seeing his initials carved on Ross Park

@JabalBob Thank you so much for sharing this historic treasure. The original analogue version was most likely destroyed or thrown away...like so many original recording sessions of famous musicians. Hopefully not.

Happy that you enjoyed it. I think Serling's television work is safely archived, including in several academic research libraries for future generations, thank goodness.

loved this man

I agree with what Rod says wholeheartedly. I'm a grad student studying script writing, and whenever the chance comes to shoot something it's treated like a big event. In reality, it should be something the student does every day. I mean the time studying needless theories could be spent developing and fine tuning your skills.

Looks good, but audio and video are not in sync.

Yes, you're correct. The source was actually converted to this format quite a while ago when transfer quality was less than what is available today.

Yeah, smoking did him in. But I wouldn't use the word 'suicide' to describe his lifestyle. Rod Serling was as far from committing suicide as one can get. His whole generation, and especially those who came back home from WWII, were smoking non-stop. It was a very popular social activity.

Serling died in 1975. Wonder when this was made? I noticed him coughing that deep cancer cough. I bet he didnt live long after this _ he kept his cigarette burning. That is a hard core addiction. I beat itbut damn it was a battle

Thank God he smoked 60-80 cigarettes a day.
