As a graduate student studying script writing, I enjoyed and appreciated the final clip. Rod hits the nail on the head regarding the problematic approach in college level courses. We need more hands on experience. I wish Rod taught film at my school. RIP to both Rod and Carol Serling!!
My father served in the same Pacific theater battles as Mr. Serling. The nightmares stayed with him until his death at 96. He smoked 2 packs of Camel studs a day from '46-75 when he quit and got another 40 years (They got 2 packs of Lucky's daily in combat).
@JabalBob Thank you so much for sharing this historic treasure. The original analogue version was most likely destroyed or thrown away...like so many original recording sessions of famous musicians. Hopefully not.
Happy that you enjoyed it. I think Serling's television work is safely archived, including in several academic research libraries for future generations, thank goodness.
I agree with what Rod says wholeheartedly. I'm a grad student studying script writing, and whenever the chance comes to shoot something it's treated like a big event. In reality, it should be something the student does every day. I mean the time studying needless theories could be spent developing and fine tuning your skills.
He did THE ZERO HOUR radio drama 1973-75 good radio show before he died from chronic heavy smoking. a Slow suicide Philip Morris cigarettes killed him. " He died before his time"
Yeah, smoking did him in. But I wouldn't use the word 'suicide' to describe his lifestyle. Rod Serling was as far from committing suicide as one can get. His whole generation, and especially those who came back home from WWII, were smoking non-stop. It was a very popular social activity.
Serling died in 1975. Wonder when this was made? I noticed him coughing that deep cancer cough. I bet he didnt live long after this _ he kept his cigarette burning. That is a hard core addiction. I beat itbut damn it was a battle
This was produced in 1985 to be part of a unique Rod Serling Installation that was exhibited in the publicly-owned performing arts theater in his hometown of Binghamton, NY. Yeah, the first and last Serling interview clips are from the early '70s.

Thank you for sharing your creative gift with the world, Mr. Serling. Rest in Peace and Blessed Be.
So glad he smoked so heavily.
Never knew he was WW2 Airborne thanks for this
He was a veteran
@@frankdenardo8684 Yes Rod Serling was in the US Army during WW2 seeing combat
Rod Serling had a great voice for narrating documentaries.
Incredible man. Sublime mind. Love Rod Serling. Thanks so much for posting

My respects to him and all Vets
loved this man
I remember as a young boy seeing his initials carved on Ross Park
The 'Twilight Zone' episode 'Walking distance' is quality drama and commercial. A brilliant piece of writing and performance.
Oscar winning actor Gig Young guest starred.

The greatest ever
I think Raoul Trujillo would be perfect for a remake of twilight zone, they look alike
Looks good, but audio and video are not in sync.
Yes, you're correct. The source was actually converted to this format quite a while ago when transfer quality was less than what is available today.
27:26 for all the student filmmakers.

Thank God he smoked 60-80 cigarettes a day.
