The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences (1964)
Season 5, Episode 27
7/10
Roswell G. Flemington
8 November 2014
John McGiver stars as Roswell G. Flemington, owner of a model ship company and lover of everything nautical, who also loves everything loud, and will play records of battles and booming cannons without regard to others. This drives his wife to leave him, and he seeks psychiatric help(his mother hated all kind of noise it seems, driving him to the other extreme) and decides to tune out all things he doesn't want to hear, but this backfires in unexpected ways... Unpopular episode that I nonetheless enjoy because McGiver is perfectly cast as the bombastic man, and in fact there is much uproarious humor to be found with his extreme behavior and destructive actions. Not much point exactly, but entertaining and under-appreciated.

An acquired taste it seems...
