Just a few "stream of consciousness" thoughts:

- That RMT music is so haunting...I forget what time mark it is, but the unnerving (another CBS stock music used in "The twilight zone", I believe) sounder used when Gray and his painter friend (played by Rose) agree to go up in the attic to see the mutations in the painting sticks with me for some reason.

- Rose was always wonderful...I loved when, right after that same music bed, he said: "MmmmMIL-DYEW must have gotten into the canvas..."

- IMO, an underappreciated (and not frequently used) actor for the RMT was Roger de Koyven. (sic?)

He was good in this one as Lord Henry Wotten ("I might ALSO have added that the only way to overcome temptation is to fight it!") but my favorite performance of his is as the retired Stanford professor conducting dangerous experiments in mental telepathy in "The breaking point".

- In the pre-politically correct (until, perhaps, the 1982 season) era of the RMT, it was interesting to see how the program handled homosexuality/lesbianism/transgender issues.

Notable programs with this theme in varying degrees of prominence are:

- Picture of Dorian Gray
- The long blue line
- The sinister shadow
- The secret sharer
- Death is a woman (with a notable role by the RMT's Gordon Heath, who died of AIDS a decade or two ago)
- Dressed to kill (the latter a farcical murder story, but interesting nonetheless)

It was also broached in

-The cornstarch killer
- Change of heart (interestingly, from 1982)

I'm not trying to get into a discussion of same, but rather just how the RMT handled it. (Note in particular E.G. Marshall's comments either at the end of "Dorian Gray's" third act, the conclusion, or both.)

- How often did Nick Pryor appear in the RMT? The only other thing I think I remember him in is as the ill-fated young husband from Nebraska in "Speak of the devil" (also from 1974.)
