Serlings script here creates a realistic atmosphere of how things were as this war ended.
James Gregory stars in this one. Gregory is a pretty good actor. He was the foil Inspector Luger on TV's Barney Miller. He was a bad guy in John Waynes film "The Sons of Katie Elder." Both of those were later than this episode. Gregory is very good at fitting into a role and this one is no exception.
There is another episode about the Civil War I would highly recommend in the Zone series but that one is unique in that it was not written by Serling. Still, if I were to put 2 zone episodes about the Civil War together for an event, this one and the other would go great together.
That episode is actually produced in Europe and was purchased by the series to run here. It is titled "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge." That one is more one event, where this one is several passers by. They are both quality, in the Twilight Zone.
