The Twilight Zone: One for the Angels (1959)
Season 1, Episode 2
7/10
A Fine Second Outing!
2 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Ed Wynn does a fine job playing an elderly salesman, who must cheat death twice: Once to save his own life and then later to save that of a young girl. This second episode of the series is another strong entry. The greatest strength of the episode is Ed Wynn's performance. Wynn, who worked on Rod Sterling's TV version of Reqeium For A Heavyweight, was a great choice to play the aging pitchman here. He makes his character likable and engaging in the short time he has available to him. Of course, the writing is strong, as it is in most Twilight Zones. This episode is another example of how a 30 minute T.V. program can present engaging, thoughtful short stories to it's viewers. Overall, I rated it 7.5 out of 10.
