The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun (1961)
Top Ten Best Twilight Zone Episodes
I just watched this episode of "The Midnight Sun" again. I can only say that I would rate this episode in the top ten best "Twilight Zone" episodes of all time. There is even an irony -- or a presage or a foreboding twilight zone effect -- for our time today with the advent of global warming! Sure, the causes are different, but no prophesy is perfect, right? Anyway, this episode is in the company of the other top ten best "Twilight Zone" episodes, which include, in my opinion, "The Howling Man", "To Serve Man", "Five Characters In Search Of An Exit", "Twenty Two", "The Invaders", "Probe 7, Over And Out", "A Nice Place To Visit", "Mirror Image" and "Shadow Play". The common thread in all these episodes is the irony and profundity that Rod Serling was best at.
Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Adorable, delightful and very funny
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a musical comedy classic, with a very memorable and wonderful musical score. Julie Andrews shows her versatility and charm, once again. Mary Tyler Moore is a special bonus in this film, and shows, once again, her fun side. Carol Channing is as charming as ever, and Beatrice Lillie is a riot! The rest of the cast is also well tuned. The film's continuity is well written and well staged. The sets, costumes and hairstyles were painstakingly well attended to in this period piece. This is just one more charming and delightful musical of the 1960s, and, alas, one of the last of its kind before the genre started to change.
