Neat to see a different version of this story.
Edgar Stehli was also in Twilight Zone as Professor Sam Kittridge in episode, "Long Live Walter Jameson".
Thank you for your wonderful posts! Bless you!
Thank you too!
THANKS , YET AGAIN FOR AIRING THIS SHOW. THEY'RE SIMPLY FUN, WELL WRITTEN & DIRECTED & ACTED, SHORT STORIES.
LIKE OLD RADIO SHOWS: THEY RELY ON THE DIRECT & TO THE POINT STORYLINE, AND DIALOG CLEARLY SPOKEN. A COMBO THAT'S HARD TO FAIL IF YA HIRE AND PLAN PROPERLY.
THANKS FOR THIS CHANNEL. YOU'RE BECOMING MY 'GO TO' SPOT FOR LITTLE DOSES OF OLD FUN.
Thanks, Hank. I 'm so glad you are enjoying the channel. That is exactly what we do here . . . Big fun from the glory days of radio television and film!
@@SteveBishart YOU'RE VERY WELCOME. IT SEEMS THESE OLDER SHOWS HAVE 'AGED' WELL. AND WITH GUYS LIKE YOU- COLLECTING AND CLEARING UP, AND BROADCASTING THEM- YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL FOR ALL YOUR WORK. THANX
love these old scifi shows. They had some of the great writers.
agreed
Yes and many of the writers came through the radio.
See the Wikipedia entry on Tales Of Tommorow
Great writers.
@@davidbostock6776 Thank you
Frankly, those shoes looked pretty nifty. You could even say they were to die for.
I need…to find an antique shop….like that one! 😊😉
Steer clear of any shops named "Needful Things"...😈
Good shows
Glad you like them, Joe!
William Redfield was an amazing actor. He also did a few episodes of Alfred Hitchcock presents. Love him! He died too young.
I thought he was particularly good in this radio drama from Suspense: czcams.com/video/mhBRfEKGfyQ/video.html
John Q Public Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed this and tbe old commercials! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
Cool
Stephen King had this in mind when writing Needful Things, I'd bet.
yes he did 👍
classic episode story similar to a twilight zone episode about a street paddler who can see the future
They were both adaptations of the same story.
just as I was going to mention that I saw your comment. nice to find another Twilight Zone fan.
Even TODAY, something like would be NEEDED. very GOOD.(LS)
Thanx so much for putting up these shows... to you and all the others who have put them up...I never heard of this series before... never played them when I was a kid.. I'm a total Twilight and Outer limits fan and I've been home sick, binge watching 'Tales' for the first time... interesting how many of these stories were adapted to either Twilight Zone or Night Gallery etc.
Thank You. Yes there are many stories that morped and evolved through the years. Maybe at some point I will post some key radio shows that told these stories before television. I wish you good health and happiness. The cool thing about the radio shows is you ca binge and rest your eyes. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the ride!
Living close to Carlisle Pa.. And knowing where the old Masland factory was. It's gone now. I never knew that they made hunting clothing. Or that they sponserd TV programs. I guess you learn somthing every day. I partyed with C.H. Maslands grandson a few times in the early 70s. Great high times!
Frank is the guy who played Stanley Sowicki in The Phil Silvers Show!
Actually, the original story was probably by both Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore. Although, after Henry died, Moore could not always remember for sure how much each of them contributed to a story. The pen name the two of them used together was Lewis Padgett.
Twilight Zone his tie got caught in an.elevator door.
On.Twilight Zone the man gave the guy some slick shoes at the end, and the guy got killed by a car trying to run out of the way. The sales man mutters " you got what you need."
Thank you for the upload. I liked the ads. Masland Sportwear. Never heard of it but now I want to buy one of their products.
The sadly missing filmed series "Rebound" (renamed 'Counterpoint" in syndication) with a similar Mystery/Suspense theme debuted just before this episode aired, West Coast Kinescope Debut for this Tale Of Tomorrow: Friday February 22, 1952
How can we see it?
@@SteveBishart Right now, it's still a lost show waiting to be found. I only know of it from the vintage early TV Guide posted in Internet Archive
The best
in 1959 the twilight zone did a version of this story by Henry Kuttner (aka Lewis Padgett). William Redfield, the star of this version, appeared in almost every 50's and 60's tv show imaginable and was in a few movies including The Fantastic Voyage and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. thanks for the upload.
and thanks for the history info
Wow, he played Harding in Cuckoo’s Nest! I’m usually pretty good at spotting actors at different ages, even if they look very different, but I had no idea about this fact, thanks!
He was my current age (49) when he died, not long after doing OFOTCN...sadly
This version had a sci- fi angle, while the Twilight Zone a supernatural one.
Steve Cochran starred in the twilight episode WHAT YOU NEED. Sirena !🧜♀️
The advertisements are as entertaining as the show.
yes, sometimes it is like an imaginary time machine when you binge on this stuff. lol
And to think there was an ad better than the Kreisler Twins- Really like the Masland Ditty. 27:46
Only $18.50. A serious garment.
I'll tell you what! I love black & white movies because this is what humans looked like before we started poisoning ourselves with processed foods, diabetes and obesity. I love how beautiful everyone looks. I wish we were still as healthy. We were sharper mentally, and much healthier physically. I pray we can recover this lost world of health
I recently had the same thought.
Meanwhile, Edgar Stehil was just 68 in this episode, but he looks like 80.
Thanks for posting this, fascinating! As others have said, the TZ ep is where I first came upon this story, and it’s neat to find it’d been put on by ToT!
Not unlike when I stumbled across the Hitchcock Presents version of An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge!
Hitchcock presents? was it under another name? It was on the Twilight Zone but I never knew it was on Hitchcock... please provide the details.... thanks
This was one of 2 Tales Of Tomorrow episodes that were later "co-opted" by Rod Serling.
The other was "The Little Black Bag".
Yes and the more OLD Time Radio you hear you find even more stories that are similar. And many of the people are the same writers and techs and actors and directors and producers and the thing that is changing is radio evolving to television. I plan to put some excellent old time radio OTR on here and we can all kind of groove on that issue even more.
czcams.com/video/ecGoP9VeZf8/video.html here it is, Luis
@@SteveBishart Steve Bishart, I didn't know many of the writers and techs and actors and directors and producers of Tales Of Tomorrow went to work with The Twilight Zone. I wonder what actors and writers were the same that worked with both Tales Of Tomorrow and The Twilight Zone.
@@Monkeyland03 just walked in and don;t know off hand but i do know some of the artist started in old time radio. You can definitely see how twz would emerge out or this group.
What about All the Time in the World, which is very much like TZ's A Certain Kind of Stopwatch?
Another twilight zone like episode, not sure who copied whom!
What a cad, going into a woman's purse, and without her consent. Men KNOW you just don't go into a woman's purse... he was doomed... jajaja
I don't think I would marry that woman.
A TWILIGHT ZONE was the same story..I assune Rod Sterlingt gave credit to the writer
Twilight zone episode.
But Tales Of Tomorrow did it first. By as much as a decade maybe.
If I recall correctly, TZ's version had a supernatural explanation, not a device as in Kuttner's story.
gomro something like that - it’s never “explained”, but ‘supernatural’ is the most likely explanation.
Rod Serling essentially rewrote "Lewis Padgett's" {Henry Kuttner & C.L. Moore} short story for "THE TWILIGHT ZONE", turning it into a struggle for survival between a greedy, cynical and violent thug- and an old man who prefers to let his gift of knowing what people need help other people.....without taking anything for himself.
Where have I seen this story before...
Twilight Zone
Do you have to show the ads?
I do not show ads. If you see them it is because copyright holders or google affiliates are claiming the right to show the ads for their revenue. At this time my efforts here are just to share cool movies Tv buff stuff. When I reach 1000 subscribers I will have a little more control of my own material or cleared public domain.
Terry Hooks,-Steven King came after.
I dont know why he felt so bad. the man was going to kill him. Self Defense man.
there are more important things than living, silly! 🙄
Killing anyone for any reason isn't an easy decision
Anyone been able to find a Masland jacket?
