What if all the world is, indeed, a stage? That's what this episode is all about. Howard Duff is playing two parts. One is a fading actor and the other a businessman with a family. He comes to realize he is part of a movie. He must battle against an overzealous director who knows his inconsistent past and the demands of his business. He strives for normalcy but is circumvented at every turn. The set/office becomes the haven but as with most sets, it gets torn down. There is such a hope for reclamation. The man moves toward the inevitable. Yet, in the end, he decides, and sets up the Serling epitaph. How are we to see the ending. That is if do or don't accept free will. It's an intriguing idea which has been done again many times.
