The Twilight Zone the groundbreaking creation of screenwriter Rod Serling gained instant legendary status in the 1950s and its popularity and influence endure worldwide. In 1994 Serling's widow Carol discovered an unfilmed screenplay entitled 'Where The Dead Are'; along with another short story entitled 'The Theater' the 'lost' work was subsequently adapted for television by Richard Matheson. A celebrated science-fiction author in his own right (perhaps best known for his novel 'I Am Legend' on which the 2007 blockbuster was based) Matheson had worked closely with Serling on the the original series. Rod Serling's Lost Classics comprises both 'Where The Dead Are' and 'The Theater' stylish adaptations that remain true to Serling's original vision for 'The Twilight Zone': a thought-provoking blend of disconcerting mystery interwoven with a powerful and timely moral allegory. The Theatre: A young couple see their own lives played out on a cinema screen. Can they escape their own seemingly inevitable fates? Where The Dead Are: In the aftermath of the Civil War a brilliant young surgeon is determined to do battle with death. But his research reveals a macabre reality...

Although Lewis Milestone had been American cinema's premier maker of war films for three decades, 1951's The Halls of Montezuma is one of his more marginal pictures. Milestone had already won an Academy Award for the single most honoured film about WWI, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), and made one of the most distinctive contemporaneous films of WWII, A Walk in the Sun (1945)--a notable influence on Saving Private Ryan, by the way--but by the time of Montezuma the hallmarks of his directorial style--such as his syncopated tracking shots--were becoming mannerisms, and the screenplay's rhythms of personal crises set against the bigger picture of the military campaign are pretty mechanical. That still leaves room to accord the picture a marginal recommendation: it's well-cast, competently made, and free of "Hollywood heroics". Richard Widmark stars as a Marine platoon leader who, having brought only seven of his men through Guadalcanal, is determined to see them safely through the next island conquest. The lieutenant was a schoolteacher in civilian life--as we see in flashbacks--and one member of his command is a former student (Richard Hylton) he helped overcome fear. Other platoon members include ex-boxer Jack Palance, trigger-happy bad boy Skip Homeier, hardcase veterans Neville Brand and Bert Freed, and Karl Malden as a philosophical corpsman. However, the most arresting performance is given by Milestone discovery Richard Boone, making his screen debut as a sympathetic colonel stuck with fighting the Japanese and fighting off a miserable cold at the same time. --Richard T Jameson, Amazon.com
