I’d like to talk to you about a 5th dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It as a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. It is a dimension which we call

The Twilight Zone

So, I’ve recently been getting into classic Twilight Zone. So far, the episodes have been pretty good. The one I want to talk about today (and is my favorite at the time of writing this post) is Season 1 Episode 2, One for the Angels.

warning: this review will contain spoilers

The main character is Lew Bookman (played by Ed Wynn), a 69 year old pitchman who is friends with the local children.

Note on Lew and the kids: this episode originally aired in 1959, and the way Lew’s interactions with the children are written and portrayed makes it clear that it’s simply intended to be a man who’s good with kids. However, there are a couple lines that, while something the original audience wouldn’t have found anything wrong with, may come across not so well to a modern audience. Since I’m reviewing the episode, I figured I should mention this.

Lew returns home after an unsuccessful day pitching on the sidewalk, giving presents to some of the kids. When he walks into his apartment, he finds a certain Mr Death (played by Murray Hamilton) there.

yes that gif is necessary

Mr Death tells Lew that he will die that night at midnight. Not wanting to die, Lew makes a deal with Mr Death that he won’t die until after he makes a big pitch, one for the angels. Mr Death agrees. However, Lew reveals that he never intends to make a pitch again, making him immortal. Mr Death is obviously not happy about this and informs Lew that he’ll take someone else. Who is that someone else? An 8 year old girl named Maggie, who Lew cares about, and who is hit by a car.

The rest of the episode is basically Lew trying to convince Mr Death to take him instead of Maggie.

Later that night, when Mr Death comes before the deadline to take Maggie, Lew decides to distract him with a sales pitch. So he makes the pitch, convincing Mr Death to buy ties from him and spinning at least one outlandish tale about how he gets the thread. It works, Mr Death misses his appointment, Maggie gets to live, and Lew accepts that it’s time for him to go.

General Thoughts

I already mentioned that this is (at least currently) my favorite episode. It is a bit on the predictable side (at least for me it was), and it’s clearly from a different time, but I still found it to be a good watch. Ed Wynn is enjoyable to watch as Lew Bookman and Murray Hamilton was good as Mr Death. In general, I really the portrayal of Death here. I especially liked watching Lew’s and Mr Death’s interactions with each other. By the time the episode ends, I simultaneously want to see more of them interacting and think what we got is enough. Maggie (played by Dana Dillaway) was also adorable. In general, I recommend watching the episode.

I noticed when looking at other reviews (since I was curious what other people thought) that I don’t the share the same interpretation a lot of others have of the pitch scene, I’ll get into my own interpretation under the cut. Basically, everything under the cut is my interpretation.

From what I can tell, a lot of people hold the position that Lew truly distracted Mr Death, but Ed Wynn doesn’t really manage to portray a fast talking salesman, so the scene doesn’t really land.

1. Lew is not shown to be a good pitchman. No one is buying from him at the beginning, and he tells Mr Death that he wants him to let him have a chance to be successful for one moment in his whole life. Basically, I don’t think Ed Wynn was supposed to portray a fast talking salesman at all.

2. I don’t think Mr Death was actually fooled during the climactic pitch. I think it was more Mr Death letting himself be distracted and playing along. Why would Mr Death need ties and thread? Also, look at his face when the pitch really gets going and Lew isn’t looking at him.

Does that look like a man who’s being distracted or a man who’s getting exactly what he wanted?

I think it looks more like he knows he’s getting what he wanted.

#twilight zone #one for the angels #review #late night posts #lew bookman #mr death #i had to much fun making gifs from the episode #that last gif could just be a picture but i already had the gif so i figured why not use it? #in case you're curious #i spelled it as lew instead of lou since it's mentioned that the full name is lewis j bookman #so it's a nickname for lewis #i also thought it was kind of interesting how mr death never uses lew's first name #he only calls him mr bookman #also during the apartment talk scene #mr death is in a chair #and he teleports around the room a few times #and the chair always teleports with him #so i keep imagining murray hamilton finishing a line and then just getting up and dragging the chair across the room #and while i don't think mr death was genuinely distracted during the climactic pitch scene #the idea that death himself is really into ties is an objectively amazing idea
