Customer Reviews of The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder/ Living Doll
The classic "Eye of the Beholder" and deadly Talky Tina "The Eye Of The Beholder," a classic Twilight Zone episode written by Rod Serling, tells the story of Janet Tyler, a woman whose hideously deformed face has made her an outcast all of her life. Now she faces her eleventh and final operation in a last chance to look normal. Maxine Stuart plays Janet under the bandages, and Donna Douglas plays her as revealed. This is one of the show's finest episodes, although probably more people have seen the Saturday Night Live takeoff than the original. Then we have Telly Savalas as Erich Streator, who is threatened by a "Living Doll" in this episode written by Jerry Sohl. Erich does not like the Talky Tina his wife has bought for Christie, his step-daughter. However the doll, voiced by the great June Foray (the voice of Rocky J. Squirrel), tells Erich she hates him too. A gripping episode since Talky Tina never talks when anybody else is around. Poor Erich. An above average Zone episode and while I would not have thought of putting this particular pair together on the same videotape, it is certainly one of the better volumes in this series.
My name is Talky Tina and I will Kill You.
Those words spoken by a Living Doll who protects the young daughter of a cruel step father played by Telly Salavis in "Living Doll", one of the most frightening episodes of the Twilight Zone, and scored with suspenceful music by Bernard Herrman. The next episode after that "Eye of the Beholder", penned by Rod Serling, is a statement of what it means to be ugly or beautiful when a woman wakes up on some world in the future or the past (It's never revealed) where her face stands out in a world where the other human faces look vastly different. The erie atmosphere of the story is also added by the strange haunting (and yet somewhat hopeful) music again scored by Bernard Herrman. A must of for any Twilight Zone fan's video collection.
All Is Not What It Appears to Be
Your heart kind of goes out for Telly Savalas in LIVING DOLL. As much of the no-good creep of a stepfather he is you just gotta feel bad for this guy as he gets outdone by a doll, Talky Tina. The doll is almost as evil as he is and this becomes very evident in the final scene at the bottom of the living room staircase. A lot of the ambiguous feelings the viewer feels is the result of Bermard Herrmann's innovative score. It has a childlike quality that taunts and teases both Telly Savalas and the viewer. This is an excellent episode from the 5th season and the entire series for that matter. THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER also taunts the main character and the viewer. The suspense of what lies beneath those bandages is unbearable. This story is not only a parable of beauty being in the eye of the beholder but makes a strong statement on fascism. Bernard Herrmann's score once again is on target as his rather ominously suspenseful scoring pulls in the viewer for a twist of fate. THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is another excellent episode.
