 I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. I really enjoyed the storyline in this Drama-Mystery, but not the characters though. Each and every one of them was taking dangerous risks on how to deal our main character. Another way to Title this tale is “Playing with Dynamiteâ€ because that’s exactly what our antagonists were doing to our protagonist. Or even call this story “6-5-3 Listen to Meâ€ because our main character kept on repeating that phrase. I also enjoyed the music that was filled with suspense, chills, and tension. Plus, they used music from “The Invadersâ€ episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE. The sound effects of the footsteps, rotary phones, puzzles/cards in boxes, body thuds, the ringing of bells, sliding of the coat rack, the newspaper, howling wind during the Séance, the bracelet, door buzzer, and the signature of the papers in morgue scene were suitable. In our Host’s Prologue, not only did E.G. Marshall bring up the topic of the human brain, but also gets our attention immediately by saying, “Welcome to the terrifying world…of your imagination.â€ In ACT-1, he brings us into the story where it begins at a military hospital for the insane a.k.a. “The Pit.â€ In ACT-2, he draws us in that our main character finds refuge, but it gets more interesting when we find out he’s loose in the city. In the end of ACT-3, that character is now un-mourned…unwanted…unwept for. Tragic, but good choice of words. In his Epilogue, E.G. Marshall informs us about tampering with the human brain, making this story a cautionary tale. And finally, our cast: William Redfield (as Dr. Paul Gentry), Bryna Raeburn (as Evelyn and Frederica Gillas), Mason Adams (as Kent Hatcher), Earl Hammond (as Colonel Edmund Plant, the Tailor, and Archie), and Martha Greenhouse (as Mrs. Mowbray and Irma). Their performances were good, but Mason Adams’ role as the disturbed soldier with killer instincts wasn’t believable enough to me. Don’t get me wrong; Mason Adams is a good actor and I enjoyed his performances in #0334-NIGHT OF THE HOWLING DOG and #0253-THE ALTAR OF BLOOD, but this role should’ve gone to either John Lithgow, Russell Horton, Fred Gwynne, Larry Haines, or Mandel Kramer because these 5 guys played troubling characters before. I wonder if Sidney Sloan got the idea to Title this CBSRMT episode from watching the 1939 film DARK VICTORY starring Bette Davis. I also wonder if Larry David heard this episode so he could write “Prognosis Negativeâ€ into the 3rd episode of the 3rd season of SEINFELD…we may never know. Anyway, check this story out if you’re a fan of Sidney Sloan’s writing. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)
