The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences (1964)
Season 5, Episode 27
1/10
full of sound and fury signifying nothing
16 November 2013
This could have been the abyss of the greatest TV show ever (but A Thing About Machines is worse). Simply too painful to watch. Yet another grossly unsympathetic man with a silly name, but this one is bad enough to make Mr Bevis or Julius Moomer look like great icons. A wretchedly silly and boring entry. I've never seen such an unconvincing or downright bad central performance. Every line he struts and frets fails to reach the heights of ham or cod acting. I am aware that John McGiver was an otherwise very accomplished character actor, having seen him in many films. Just as I'm aware that Rod Serling was a great writer, but this utter rubbish is best forgotten.

Don't be like me and go looking for a message in this trash. Please look elsewhere in the Twilight Zone.
