As I watched this film of one of my favorite stories, I couldn't help but feel disappointed... particularly because I saw it dramatized so much more faithfully as an episode of the New Twilight Zone. In an attempt to make this story a full-length feature, they added elements that were not present in the original, and it has tainted an otherwise tight plot. If you really want to see this story on film, look for the New Twilight Zone... it is many times better and much closer to the themes and ideas of the original story.
