Twilight Zone, Vol. 22 kicks off with "A World of Difference," a memorable episode written by frequent contributor Richard Matheson. The story gives Howard Duff a rare opportunity to prove his underrated talent, playing an average businessman who arrives at his office only to discover that he's actually an actor on a soundstage. "Back There" is decidedly less effective, featuring hammy overacting by Russell Johnson (who would soon be cast as the Professor in Gilligan's Island) as a man cast backward in time to the day of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. He can't alter history, so the ending is a foregone conclusion, but the segment is noteworthy for its scoring by composer Jerry Goldsmith, then in the early stages of his stellar career.
"One More Pallbearer" offers a variation on the classic episode "Time Enough at Last," combining Rod Serling's concern with nuclear warfare with a twisted tale of revenge. Joseph Wiseman (best known for playing James Bond nemesis Dr. No) plays a multimillionaire who devises a simulated nuclear attack and invites three people who wronged him (a teacher, an Army colonel, and a priest) to his bomb shelter to extort them into apologizing. The twist on this Serling-penned episode is pure TZ gold, but Wiseman is so good that his character is unintentionally sympathetic. "Ring-a-Ding Girl" is a fifth-season curio in which a Hollywood star receives an unusual ring that foresees her fateful future. Maggie McNamara is fine as a faux Audrey Hepburn, but the episode's twist is strictly routine for TZ fans. --Jeff Shannon
Description:
This volume includes:
"A Word of Difference" (Episode 23, March 11, 1960)--Arthur Curtis (Howard Duff) thinks he's an average businessman living a normal life. Or is he an actor playing a businessman in an office that's really a set?
"Back There" (Episode 49, January 13, 1961)--Russell Johnson is Peter Corrigan, a man who travels back in time to the date of President Lincoln's assassination. Will his presence have any impact at all--can he actually change history?
"One More Pallbearer" (Episode 82, January 12, 1962)--Eccentric millionaire Paul Radin offers the use of his bomb shelter to three people who wronged him. But the price--an apology--may be too high.
"Ring a Ding Girl" (Episode 133, December 27, 1963)--Hollywood film star Bunny Blake gets an unusual gift from her hometown fan club: a ring that shows old friends' faces, letting her know she's needed back home, where she's about to play the biggest role of her life.

I have a whole stack of episodes from this series.I wouldn't say every episode is brilliant,but some realy leave you thinking.Here is a good selection from the series.Makes me wonder at times where they got the ideas for these episodes.There is nothing quite like it on Tv these days,they rely too much on special effects rather than a good script and fine acting.The twists and turns to each episode keep you interested.
