Customer Reviews of The Twilight Zone: Mr. Denton on Doomsday/ The Shelter
A pair of first rate Rod Serling scripts, esp. "The Shelter" A pair of excellent scripts by Rod Serling are featured on this particular "Twilight Zone" videotape. "Mr. Denton on Doomsday" (October 16, 1959) is the third episode of "The Twilight Zone," starring Dan Duryea as the title character, a drunken gunslinger who is forced to fight the town bully (Martin Landau). However, Henry J. Fate (Malcolm Atterbury) rides into town and just by looking at Denton momentarily restores his shooting skills. But after winning the gunfight, Denton finds he has become the target for a young gunslinger (Doug McClure) wanting to make his reputation. Denton buys a magic potion from Fate that will give him ten seconds of deadly accuracy, which Denton must use to change his life forever. This episode provides one of the better "TZ" scripts, which I do not think you will find predictable.
"The Shelter" (September 29, 1961) is one of my favorite episodes of "The Twilight Zone." Although this is one of Serling's "preachy" scripts, I think it is a case where he hits the mark perfectly. The neighborhood is gathering for a surprise party for Doc Stockton (Larry Gates), when the radio announces radar has detected what appears to be incoming missiles. Doc, his wife and young son go to the shelter he has built in his basement. But when his unprepared neighbors start begging to be let in there is neither enough room nor enough supplies, which is when things get ugly. Some people consider "The Shelter" to be melodramatic, but I always found it rather chilling. Maybe because it is a rare "TZ" episode that has neither any science fiction nor fantasy elements. The cast for this third season episode includes Jack Albertson as Jerry Harlowe, Joseph Bernard as Mary Weiss, Sandy Kenyon as Frank, and Peggy Stewart as Grace Stockton.
Shows who's really youy friends
The shelter isn't a particulary scary episode but shows what your friends may do to you in a state of crisis.A doctor has some friends over with a party when a ufo flys over and everyone is panicked and runs home.The doctor and his family retire to the bomb shelter and have enough supplies for only his family.His friends panic and knock the door down and the crisis is a false alarm.His friends apologize for being so greedy but the doctor comes out in disbelief in how these people acted, wanting to save themselves even if it meant killing the doctor in the process.
