A Knockout of a story.
If you're an acting student, best to watch this episode as its simply fascinating and inspiring. Joanne Linville and James Gregory, two veterans of their trade, play their roles to perfection at the close of the Civil War. This has long been hailed as one of the most thought provoking episodes of the entire series, the one we all grew up on.
Linville plays a bitter, yet beautiful woman, gently rocking on the front steps of her smoldering home, waiting and waiting for her husband to return from war. Limping soldier Gregory enters the scene and strikes up a poignant friendship of sorts with her. Leave it to Rod Serling's genius to let your mind fill in the rest, along a road you cannot find on any map, philosophically put.
Character actor Austin Green portraying President Lincoln is a standout. Green, also a director and writer, played Lincoln four times in tv productions and, perhaps, one of, if not the BEST actor to play the president.
This will stay with you for awhile, whether you are a war veteran or know someone who is. Powerful. SEASON 3 remastered CBS dvd box set.
