It's true that the Volume 12 TZ DVD is not the best in the series of 40 plus Twilight Zone DVDs.
But "The Trade-Ins" has as a powerful asset for anyone interested in the history of the theatre of the 20th century: the very renowned (then, at least) actor, Joseph Schildkraut. This must have been one of his last performances in any medium. Like "The Passerby" -- another TZ that comes in for criticism for what is by modern, and rather callous, theatrical taste, a maudlin sentimentality ... Read More

The question of what is real and what is illusion is central to my favorite episode on this DVD, "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine." The story concerns a former movie queen who refuses to believe that she is no longer young and in demand, instead spending her days and nights alone with her old films. In an uncanny bit of wish-fulfillment, she finally leaves the "real world" and enters the world of make-believe for good. Ida Lupino gives a formidable "star performance" as the aging actress, and Martin ... Read More

Except for the episode "Mr.Denton on Doomsday", these are some of the weakest Zone episodes I have ever seen. "Denton" concerns an ex-gunslinger (Dan Duryen)who has become the town drunk.

Then a travelling quack offers him a potion that will restore his former skills. Duryen gives an emotional performance that truly conveys the emotions of shame and ... Read More

I'm a little partial to this dvd because it has "Mister Denton on Doomsday", which is one of the first TZ episodes I ever saw as a little boy and one I actually sat on the floor in front of the tv taping on a tape recorder with my own narration (well before the days of VCR's). Of the four stories on here, three have the telegraphed endings (if you don't see it coming by about ten minutes into the show, you're not watching hard enough). The other one (Mister Denton) is good about keeping you guessing until ... Read More
