The other two movie episodes are loosly based on old TV episodes. The one with the powerful boy is a new version of one with Billy Mumy playing a boy that kept a whole town in fear of his powers (did you notice Billy Mumy in the cafe in the movie??). The first piece of the movie I think comes from an episode where an American soldier wants to go into a cave and kill all the helpless wounded Japanese soldiers he knows are there, while some of his soldiers say: Can't we just leave 'em, they're not going to hurt us. Then things reverse and he's in a group of Japanese soldiers that want to go in and kill American soldiers in a cave and he says: Can't we just leave 'em, they're not going to hurt us? The one in the movie suffers a little from not having really been finished, but all things considered, not bad. I suggest you consult the Twilight Zone Companion for authors and actors in the old episodes, it's an excellent book. If you don't have/can't get a copy, I'll be glad to respond through mail to anyone wanting info on an episode. -king UUCP:...nbires!ut-ngp!ables ARPA:ables@utexas-11
