This is the only Twilight Zone episode that featured a primarily black cast. Groundbreaking for 1960? Absolutely, considering that this episode is part of the show's first season. However, I was not so impressed by this breakthrough, that I thought nothing else mattered. You have the story of a washed up boxer who has lost faith in himself, until a child inspires him to believe in himself. That's nice. Not very interesting, though. Let it be known that I couldn't stand that kid! All he does is whine and whimper through the whole episode. Referring to my heading, the only performance that impressed me came from Kim Hamilton. She was a very lovely lady and a fine actress. Like anything else I've seen her in, it was Kim's presence that gave this entry the only spark it had.
