The Twilight Zone: What You Need (1959)
Season 1, Episode 12
10/10
Here, have a bit of "What You Need"
13 October 2017
One thing I noticed about these "User Reviews" for "Twilight Zone" Season 1, Episode #12, is that a great majority of them pretty much say the same things, but thankfully, each says it in the words of each individual Reviewer. And there are quite a few Reviews from The U.K., and a few other places outside the USA. That's proof that Mr. Serling did indeed create a world-wide HIT!

One thing that stands out about the reviews for THIS "Zone" installment (like ALL of the FILMED Twilight Zone's), it was filmed in my Home Town, Culver City, California, (which turned 100 years old in 2016) at the former home of MGM Studios - which was once HUGE - they actually had SIX movie lots in all, once upon a time - most of which was sold for its real estate value in the early 1970's. The several "Twilight Zone" shows which were shot on VIDEOTAPE with multiple TV cameras were taped at CBS Television City In Hollywood - unlike THIS one, which was shot like a movie at M-G-M, with only a single 35mm film camera. I won't say very much about this individual show, since there are so many other EXCELLENT, well-written reviews. What I WILL say is that Rod Serling and Co. would have had a VERY difficult time shooting this show and making it look so good without the wonderful facilities of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where some of the GREATEST Movies of All Time were made. I'll also say that even though some "Twilight Zone" installments are better than others, ALL of them are GOOD!
