21 years later, this same Roald Dahl story, appeared in season 2 episode 5 of Tales of the Unexpected.
The Rifleman (1958) would do a variation on the plot of this just a few years later in the episode And the Devil Makes Five (1963) from its 5th and final season.
In 2023, Wes Anderson directed another adaptation of the same story by Dahl. It appeared on Netflix, exclusively.
