What a classy actor he was, Cushing! Underrated only because he was associated with the horror genre.

Peter Cushing spoke so eloquently with his eyes.

I was an extra for this episode - aged 18. Lots of fun doing the filming. Great memories. Thanks for sharing.

Got Love For Pete Cushing Class.

He's so afraid that he did the unnecessary thing of poisoning the blade. Mensur is not a duel to the death, he didn't need to do that... but all must surrender to the PLOT!!

but as he well said like that: man do strange things under fear... and of course, it was done because he didn´t believe what he was doing... just only in absolutely rare occasions that a man will fight honorable... if he believes down to his soul what he is fighting for... being wrong or right it doesn´t matter, only if he believes...

Great Ending.One off the best ones i have watched.used to watch them when they 1st came out Thanks for these uploads

Well done..

Well... that was different. Very good. Thanks for posting.

Peter Cushing, excellent

The biggest unexpected thing in this episode, was they managed to get Peter Cushing to star knowing they had a naff bugget!

This was in 1982/1983 when his career was tapering off due to health problems and a lack of roles that appealed to him. (It seems like he was still getting horror offers, but the movies offered struck him as increasingly distasteful). Even so, you'll notice that he's in a handful of scenes in one location that could have been shot in a day or two.

Great episode.

I love peter cushing

I stop the vid to say when he pull the covers back that was really tales of the unexpected :)

I believe the moral to this story is, why didn't the German people kill Adolf Hitler. This is my interpretation from the context of this story. Superb acting from Peter Cushing.

Not seen that one before. Thanks

Thanks for the upload, I'm binging on these at the moment! I love the premise of Tales of the Unexpected, and they featured some terrific actors, but all too often the stories just aren't clever enough. When the twist finally comes, it's usually a 'So what' moment. A shame because the potential is there for some really superb self contained, classic short dramas.

The twist is that the two guys are elderly Nazi (or Nazi-adjacent if not actual Nazi party members) war criminals still in prison. The narrator seems somewhat repentant of his crimes and accepting of his punishment, and traces his cowardice in working with the Nazis to his cowardice in poisoning the blade for the duel in his cadet days.

If whoopi Goldberg married Peter cushing she would of been called Whoopi cushing
