It's clear Meredith (and so many of his generation) "trod the boards" at live theater stages well before they ever got in front of a camera. He is one of the finest actors in history, one with an impeccable sense of timing and delivery. Makes some of today's "film stars" look insipid and amateurish, which so many of them are.

another reason we have so many excellent british actors. many start out on the stage - often with Shakespeare - before appearing in movies. Acting live is demanding - you have to remember your lines, project your voice clearly, and emote!
I was young when I saw Burgess in Grumpy Old Men. I loved him in that role. My dad, whom I grew watching countless old tv and movies with, said “ you remember this or that”. I said yes and he said same guy. I’ve been rewatching him ever since.
A fabulous actor! Meredith was blacklisted for a decade until he starred in four Twilght Zone episodes. His portrayal of George in 1939's Of Mice And Men was riveting.
@@ronaldshank7589I would guess what every one in that time was blacklisted for - some type of involvement with communism and or commie groups also refusing to naming others - there are several movies about it - one I recall with sine humor yet also heartbreak is - THE FRONT - starring Woody Allen.

This was television when television was entertaining. Burgess Meredith today would put many so called sears on TV today to shame. I can’t think of anything that comes close to the Twilight Zone today.
Why isn't today's television as creative and provocative as The Twilight Zone? In the last 60 + years one would think that compelling script writing should at least equal the talent of Rod Serling. That man was one of a kind!
I think it's enough that we had one Rod Serling. There have been some great scripts throughout television history, Serling's accomplishment was to have a whole lot of them packed into just four seasons.
Many people don’t realize the actors added their own take or interpretation to the character they’re portraying. Burgess Meredith was excellent at this.

I realize that Meridith is a good actor, but for some reason I don't care for him, or the many parts he has played. He was a famous actor before I was born, but I saw him on "Rocky," and was, shall we say, unimpressed. I knew nothing about the movie scenes in this video. He simply does not appeal to me, but again, I think he really is a great actor!

The best part of this episode reveals the pure genius of Rod Serling, that much of the news we hear happens because that's what journalists write about, not the other way around. Why cant we get the scene where Burgess is typing on the linotype- machine and things happen as fast as he writes them...war..strife...murder..terror?
Guy, this is a fantasy television show, with what it shows not real. Journalists don't create the news. They don't have to. There aren't enough journalists to write about the news there already is.
@@GlennC789 .. No, I don't agree with his point. Yes, some in the media, along with others, can beat the war drums, for example, but that doesn't create war. We as a nation have to do that. It really comes down to us, but many would rather point a finger at others (the media did it, etc) instead of acknowledging that. Those trying to interpret this story in that manner (the media, not the devil shown, did it) are inflicted with that same sense of denial.
You are just parroting a verse from the bible written by some human who lived in a superstitious time. In such times you could claim an entity that doesn't exist (the devil) admits another non-existent entity (God) exists and use such circular reasoning as "proof". Such is the kind of "proof" when one tries so hard to believe something that isn't true. Only such subjective, non-falsifiable premises account for "proof" in biblical Christianity. I somehow believed it for 40 years, preached, taught, fasted and prayed and believed it all until a serious study of the Bible (Ph D in biblical theology)and an honest conversation with myself. gave me the courage to admit that no intentional god exists. The more closely you study the bible the more human it reveals itself to be.
The hour episodes were not as good as the 30 minute ones in general, but this hour long one was about the best of the genre. Burgess Meredith as always was a perfect blend of naughty near-evil while also being funny. The plot was well laid out and fit the formula for dealing with the devil, which involves some divine trick to distract him while you escape his clutches.

The fact that 60 years ago they could convey an entire movie in 4 minutes is incredible! The stories, writing, casting and filming were so amazing! The story and the acting are good. The reason is, is because there was nothing to lean on. No effects, no training, no digital editing. Just do it! The ones that get my attention now days still play by that.
Then why would the editor place any credence on the deal... The fact Serling has us thinking these things says it all... It's intellectual entertainment...
This is a fictional world that only lasts 30 minutes. The implications are that the devil exists...and we find out he does in the end of this episode. So it works in this context.
As a kid I remember asking my Dad "Why are all of The Devil's cigars bent a certain way? Did he make them that way?" And my Dad's first response was to laugh which I always enjoyed making him do too! Twilight Zone for me is more than the awesome episodes offered up....it is like a Family Reunion of sorts for me. Cheesy sounding YES...but straight from the Heart of a grateful Grown Up Kid too. Cheers Everyone
Those types of cigars were a real thing. Sometimes in the cigar rolling factories they’d just come out crooked. Particularly if rolled by an apprentice learning the skill. Instead of letting them go to waste, these crooked cigars, often still perfectly smokable, were soaked in rum for a time, cured, and later marketed as “Rum Soaked Crooks” at a discount price. I think it a beautiful little detail here that they had Meredith, The Devil(!) smoke crooked cigars. Wonderful!
Bob Papadopoulos answered the question about the bent cigars 9 year ago in these comments, he wrote: _They're crooked because they come braided together. The shop owners gave the torcedors a daily allowance of cigars that they could smoke, but given the number of cigars around there'd be no way of knowing if they were smoking theirs or the shops. To fix it they took the three allowed and braided them together, so if the torcedor was seen smoking a perfectly straight cigar the foreman knew he was over his limit._

For years I faithfully watched the twilight zone marathon every labor day weekend , and over the years I had thought I had seen all of the episodes..However upon purchasing the complete set of all the seasons , I discovered there were three or four episodes of the common " selling your soul to the devil " theme which I was not aware of ... interesting .
That's the devil's "trick." He doesn't want people to believe he exists... many professing believers(Christians) might even argue for the existence of the devil. If he doesn't exist, does God? Is the Bible true, or is the devil and the soul just a "symbol" of something? This clip is to help people realize what the devil schemes and not just to entertain others.

Yes evil exists. JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil and to Redeem mankind!!! Satan is a defeated foe. Mankind throughout millennia, continues to believe the devil's lies, that leads to his destruction.
Love how he wrote at the end that he didn't "understand" the contract he signed when it's literally just a short simple paragraph and is clear, cut and dry.
Burgess Meredith is one of the finest actors ever. When he was in his 70's he was dating a model in her 20's and someone asked her what she got out of it and she told them......... the best sex she ever had! I like that.
I don't know what they're called but they do them in very classy tobacconists. I think they're from Cuba & supposedly burn 'cooler' whatever that means...
I like Julie Newmar's devil. First, it's Julie Newmar and she's wearing horns. Second, she says she already has the guy's soul, she wants his money. That's a trader. As for this specific trade: very well written scene. Burgess overacts but so stylishly that it's commendable. The contract would need a choice of law. The term "soul" would need to be defined as it is inherently ambiguous. The devil needed a better lawyer.
If I were the Devil, that would be an exactly along the line of things to "protect" you from. Lucifer did not even have to light his way, did he, all he had to do was convince the man he was not who he said he was, standing in front of him as he said it.
Great role played by Burgess Meredith very convincing that 😮the 😈 devil does not exist. He'll lead many right into that same trap on the road to hell. Repent now 😢.

Yes evil exists. JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil and to Redeem mankind!!! Satan is a defeated foe. Mankind throughout millennia, continues to believe the devil's lies, that leads to his destruction.
@@jameswood231 That's for sure , amen to that .
NOBODY like Burgess Meredith! What a mesmerizing actor!
I believe Burgess and Jack Klugman are tied for most appearances🤓😎✌🏻
Loved him . When he was Rocky's trainer.
Love how he wrote at the end that he didn't "understand" the contract he signed when it's literally just a short simple paragraph and is clear, cut and dry.
Mick! 🥊🥊
Did he get Rocky to sign one of these? LOL
Burgess Meredith. Icon!
Burgess was amazing
Great writing; magnificent example of manipulation at its finest.
Great writing and acting.
The cigar is a "snake" cigar. It has a different name in Spanish. And it comes wrapped up in 3s. Very very subtle
Wow - even in the 50s he looked like an old man.
Rocky was made in 1976. So yeah, he was in his late 50's early 60's.
@@John-Joseph Born 1907. So he was nearly 70 for Rocky and older for 2, 3, & 4.
In real life this is Satan's greatest hope & power... to get people to NOT believe our greatest enemy or in our father, God!!!!!!!!!!!
He was awesome lol
He should've renegotiated that contract with some clauses.
May you be in heaven an hour before the Devil knows your dead.
Meredith's daughter attended UOP (University of the Pacific). I know because I met her there c. 1973.
There’s photos in Dr. John Lily’s bio of Burgess Merideth, Dr. Timothy Leary, Robin Williams, Dr. & Mrs. Lily at Lily’s ocean home & research labs.
Burgess Meredith is one of the finest actors ever. When he was in his 70's he was dating a model in her 20's and someone asked her what she got out of it and she told them......... the best sex she ever had! I like that.
Great actor
I don't know what they're called but they do them in very classy tobacconists. I think they're from Cuba & supposedly burn 'cooler' whatever that means...
"Hey, not interested. But could I keep this and get your autograph, Mister The Devil?"
... because he didn't have a manager.
I got heart but no locker....
I like Julie Newmar's devil. First, it's Julie Newmar and she's wearing horns. Second, she says she already has the guy's soul, she wants his money. That's a trader.
As for this specific trade: very well written scene. Burgess overacts but so stylishly that it's commendable.
The contract would need a choice of law. The term "soul" would need to be defined as it is inherently ambiguous. The devil needed a better lawyer.
Dude better be careful. The devil doesn't like to be outwitted. He'll come for him again and again until he succumbs.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this episode. 🤔
If I were the Devil, that would be an exactly along the line of things to "protect" you from. Lucifer did not even have to light his way, did he, all he had to do was convince the man he was not who he said he was, standing in front of him as he said it.
Great role played by Burgess Meredith very convincing that 😮the 😈 devil does not exist. He'll lead many right into that same trap on the road to hell. Repent now 😢.
The biggest lie the Devil ever told is that he doesn't exist.
Mr. Meredith will be in "Burnt Offerings" 1976, beyond creepy film! Don''t sign this contract!!
Why take chances?!
Anyone considering getting into acting should assiduously study Meredith.
Of what value is a soul that has no conscience? The devil makes bad trades all day, every day.
I am not selling my soul to the beer for his services
