"The Four of Us Are Dying" (1960) uses a unique plot technique from a story by George Clayton Johnson. Small town nobody Harry Townes can change his face to suit his purpose. He transforms himself into a recently deceased musician named Johnny Foster (played by Ross Martin), just so he can have an affair with Johnny's old flame (a very attractive Beverly Garland). His role-playing comes to an abrupt end, however, when he becomes someone who has made a lot of enemies. As the other reviewer correctly noted, there are some holes in the basic premise here, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the episode.
The acting is solid in this entry with all the players giving fine performances; Don Gordon is especially good as a disreputable boxer. Creator/narrator Serling wrote the teleplay. This is one of the more interesting and unusual "Zone" episodes. The plot device of interchanging personalities was also used to good effect in a later episode titled "Dead Man's Shoes" with Warren Stevens in 1962.
