The Twilight Zone - Of Late I Think of Cliffordville**
Of Late I Think of Cliffordville has two recurring TZ themes
together in its hour: time travel (which was just touched on a few episodes
prior) and the Devil (this time in the form of the sexy Newmar, perhaps the
best casting of that part during the series). I will include the link to my
review.
The bald skull cap on Salmi was really distracting this
go-around, but no one could play a sonofabitch like him. Seeing his downfall
was especially a pleasure as Newmar, with such a devilish grin and carrying
herself with panache, milks his efforts to secure safe passage back to where he
came from in the 34 years of future before she gave him the chance to go back
in the past to supposedly enjoy the ride again for all their worth. When
Feathersmith fucks over a former business associate (frequent TZ actor,
Anderson), laughing through a loud intercom as he solemnly walks to the
elevator past the corridor of secretaries and their desks, seeing this megalomaniac
get his just desserts makes spending such a long time with him worth it. Newmar
negotiating with Salmi, exploring the files of this company conquering miscreant
and orchestrating a monetary exchange, appealing to his devious nature, is
quite a hoot.
