I don't think I have ever thanked you for finding so many wonderful old movies to up-load to UA-cam. The time it must have taken you! I truly enjoy them as this was the some-times fair of Family Classics or just plain-old television viewing when I was young. I often find myself feeling nostalgic and your selection always does the trick. I don't see to read very well these days. I can't imagine the trouble it took you to put all of these movies together in order to share them with film lovers who have a real appreciation for much better dialogue than one finds in today’s movies, and great story-telling, gripping action, sweet romance not to mention the opportunity to once again see such beloved actors on our new ”big screens”.Thank you so much.
Great comment
"
I second this comment; thanks much!
Me too! Many thanks from London.
Even in His Fathers final moments, He still managed to not be at His side... #Sigh.
Love these old black and white shows. Thanks a bunch.
They're awesome!
Sooooooooo love this. Thanks for bringing it back.
I really thought that Mendez was carving his own stone.
A bit contrived; he wouldn't have been sentenced to death for killing that demonic stone cutter, but to 10 years in prison.
It would have been a better ending, and more logical, if the stone cutter had carved his own deathdate before dying.
Once a man stopped me and started a conversation. He said that he could read my hand and I answered:" Its already hard for me to deal with the struggle of everyday life and now you want me to struggle with my future too? I have enough with the present. I don't want to deal with the future". And after that I left while he looks surprised to find someone who don't want to know her future. Lets try to live the present because your future could be a disappointing surprise and we don't want to worry in advance.
"There can't be a tomorrow for those who live only for today" The final line from the movie, "Guns, Girls, and Gangsters".
@truthadvocacy still I don't want to know my future. If I'm gonna die tomorrow ill let it be. What will I solve in advance? We all have to die anyway and when is your turn is your turn.
@@melbae.1124 The fallacy in your argument is, what if you have a chance to know you're gonna die a year later. I'd be much better able to live life to the fullest during that one year, wrap up any remaining affairs that I don't want to leave for others to bother with, and make my best preparation for the eternity. That's just me, of course.
@@ericteng3053 and yours is the answer of a selfish careless person. What do you know if I am being preparing to give my best to God since long time ago? Knowing that I would die a YEAR from now would change that? What do you know if my bussinesses dont need to much wrap up? Besides wasn't God himself the one who prohibited all kind of iccult practices like hand reading? If im preparing for eternity would I practice the very thing God hates? Don't come trying to give me a lesson on how to behave in life if you don't even know what to do with yours.
@@melbae.1124 Don't give me none of your "God this and God that" grand speech! The only reason for your not wanting to know your future, as you have stated, is your fear of the future, something that you would rather not have to worry in advance because you already have too much to worry about. 😅
The ego controls our selfishness & rudeness to others. The heart controls our compassion to others & our joy will become contagious 💞It’s time to show our understanding to ourselves & others. Become a kinder person!
Yep, start with the Man in the Mirror
SuzieQ Wonder ye right " on watt you say however only thing kindness get A person in this world is you end up on your own '.. Sadly world just isn't ready for kind honest people .. And also like this episode it's usually to late before one realises ' but let's hope in change " .. 🤔❤️💜❤️🦁🌞👍👀".
Well Said!
Nebbah hatchie.
@Mr. Moon Evolution is a hoax. Just saying . . .
I knew when he killed the stone cutter, his fate was sealed. Then seeing the stone, it made sense.
He blames the stone cutter but he should blame himself. He stayed away from his father all those years even the day he knew his father was dying. His anger got him nowhere. Lesson learned don't take your love ones for granted. They don't have to be old either.
Mary Parker: I must say that you are absolutely RIGHT !
Totally agree
Amen!
-Jesus loves all and wants all saved! Romans 10:9-10✌️
Yet he loved his father enough to take care of all of his physical needs and provide a lifelong sense of sure and certain security. That is an expression of love if ever there was one. DUH
This plot went so much further than expected. Well done.
This is the most heart wrenching story I have ever seen on TV.
*A dad is the best friend a man can ever have....*
Sam Singer: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, my friend ! Sadly, sometimes we realize that when it is too late
Unfortunately not all dads are best friends. I have lived it.
@@carlosramos5256 I feel you brother, *well said.*
@@Linda3365 So sorry, Linda.😢
My Dad was my best friend.
Some of the nicest comments on this Chanel. Much to be said for values learned during the times these shows originally aired and the viewers of today; from then. Refreshing. ❤️ uplifting.
I agree. I grew up in the late 50's early 60's. But was a little too young to watch this show at the time. So glad to be able to now.
I was 14 when I began watching this show. Some of the episodes have been in my memory for all my life.
The son in this story is a right pain. Shouting at everyone... he must have issues!
Set the Masseur back onto him!
🤣
He's got very serious issues...a real a hole 😆
Or let a bodybuilder give him a massage!😁👍
Amazing ending!!! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Fred 🍕🍕🍕
Wow. So very good. Great acting, as usual. That son spent all his time yelling and arguing when he could have comforted his dad. All the denial did was drive him to Homicide and to his ultimate execution. Brilliant story. Thanks for sharing this. I’m so enjoying this series!
He got on my nerves with all that noise screamed an yelled the whole episode...
@@jamesvickers9476 I know right.
I never told my dad that I love him
And he never told me so neither
See, he's from a time when love was not told but shown
And a man never spoke what was damn well known
I was 3yrs old, born Sept 7 1954. Loved this episode. Sad his Dad was dying and he making it all about him.
Really enjoy watching these. Never knew about this series until recently. Good episode. They didn't get the rural Maine accents quite right but I have actually fished at "The Rangeleys"
"Every man has a birthday; every man has a deathday". Wow.
Profound
@@upthedownescalator630 Thankuh. Thankuh verruh mush!
@@bubbalong7646 Ha, ha
Guess what?? so does every woman! Wow, deep.
@@deejo1823 man = also a general term meaning all possible human sexes.
One of the best ones.
This one is very touching!
Watched
Wow....I am in tears.....😇
Thank you.
Thank you. That's the best one yet!
The son played Angelo in the movie Marty starring Ernest Borgnine. This was a great episode
Joe Mantell plays the high strung son ---- Look for his classic Twilight Zone - Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room -
Prolific American character actor who appeared on the Broadway stage and later became a familiar face guesting in a staple of classic television series in the 50's and 60's. He was the son of an émigré Austrian butcher and served with the U.S. Army during World War II. In addition to his work on the original "Twilight Zone", he is also fondly remembered as Jack Nicholson's partner in Chinatown
Yah, "Jackie Rhodes" has gotten too full of himself, and needs another session with a certain mirror.
@@ZnenTitan
Appreciate your creative and worthwhile insight ZT ---
@@alexnorth622 Thank you. And yours as well.
"Exit Mr. John Rhoades, formerly a reflection in a mirror, a fragment of someone else's conscience, a wishful thinker made out of glass, but now made out of flesh, and on his way to join the company of men. Mr. John Rhoades, with one foot through the door and one foot out of the Twilight Zone."
-Rod Serling
Definitely one of my favorites.
It was an especially nice touch how, at the very end of the episode, as he is calling the front desk to check out of his room, he pauses when at first identifying himself as Jackie Rhoades, instead calling himself *John* Rhoades, signaling that he is forever leaving behind his weak old self and assuming a far better, more confident self.
Fantastically acted and written episode, and all of it shot inside a single room, with only two actors.
We love you Pizza 🍕 You are great for posting these!
I've noticed after watching these episodes that a lot of them are predictable.
But that doesn't matter to me. They are very intertaining and worth watching regardless 😁
The father was brought up and lived in Ireland, while his son was born in America sand picked up other influences.
17:01 a *speedball?* Lol, sounds more like a last present for a goner than a medication.
He gave him morphine and a stimulant? Isn’t that a “speedball”? 🧐
This one hit home.
He starved and dehydrated a horse to death and they treat it like he forgot to clean his shoes, that is truly the most frightening aspect of this video
caring more for animals than humans, what culture is that?
Thank you for these videos
I kind of figured from the start that the stonecutter was working on the son's death date. It just seemed like that's what it was leading up to, wasn't much of a mystery.but at first I kind of thought that it was the son that was going to die instead of the father.
Me too...But I felt like soon as the father die the son would follow
So the stone cutter is the same guy that played sam berry the jockey. He looks like William Defoe. Good actor.
Defoe for sure!
I love Arthur Shields and his brother Barry Fitzgerald, awesome actors. my mother was from Dublin.
They are always using that house in almost all the The One Step Beyond movies.
An even better twist to that episode would have been the stonecutters date of death on his own stone.
Ya, I thought it was gonna show one stone for the father and one for the son and one for the stone cutter
A bit contrived; he wouldn't have been sentenced to death for killing that demonic stone cutter, but to 10 years in prison.
It would have been a better ending, and more logical, if the stone cutter had carved his own deathdate before dying.
@@truthadvocacy he said he was executed. Never said anything about 10 years in prison.
I instantly recognized the actor who played the main character here.
It's the late Joe Mantell, who also played Lawrence Walsh in "Chinatown" ("Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown") and in the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room." (the main character, Jackie Rhoades), and in a supporting role in another classic TZ episode, "Steel," alongside the legendary Lee Marvin.
May I add... Joe Mantell in his greatest role in "Marty" as Marty's pal Angie, which he was nominated for an academy award as best supporting actor in "Marty" which was awarded best picture. Also he was superb as a political assassin in a two part episode in the Untouchable TV series.
@@leeclark4495 Thanks for the info.
That's a movie that I've been intending to see for some time now.
Ernest Borgnine won the Oscar for his leading role in it.
Personal note here, but Ernest served in WW2 as a U.S. Navy Gunner's Mate.
I was also a Gunner's Mate (Guns) at the tail end of the Cold War, although I never saw combat.
I always thought Ernest was an excellent actor, and the fact that he had the same rating that I had makes him rather special to me.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Thanks for your service. Take a look at "Marty" it's really a slice out of the mid 50's, and you'll like and respect Borgnine and Mantell even more as they played their roles so well, and it's a great story. It's one of my all time favorites.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Check out this clip from "Marty" it's so realistic, funny, and sad too. ua-cam.com/video/LyszyKhpc88/v-deo.html
@@leeclark4495 Thanks right back.
That clip was just terrific, and it's interesting to hear how Mantell's strong "New Yawk" accent is exactly as it was in "Nervous Man," so that probably was his natural voice without affectation.
Seeing two such ordinary looking guys playing prominent roles in a movie is a reminder of a time when talent was more important than just looking good for the camera.
I'll have to see about setting aside 90 minutes to watch it all the way through via Amazon streaming now.
I'll recommend a movie for you, and it's even here on UA-cam via a person who cleaned up the Kinescope footage to look as close as possible as it would have been on proper film instead of (Kinescope) a film camera pointed at a video monitor back in the day when it was originally performed live.
You won't regret watching this one - ua-cam.com/video/_el9xm6pxW4/v-deo.html
thanks show is video.
Interesting... but all they should have done is prevent the stone cutter from preparing the monument before the person dies - as it is usually done - only after the person dies...
:)
The doctor gave him a speedball, ah, the good old days. I must have seen these as a kid and that's how I knew the ending. Of course I saw them as a kid but I'm not sure that's how I knew the ending.
Stanley was born on my birthday.
& jesus was born,
on christmas day!
Arthur Shields, born in Ireland and Walter Burke, of Irish parents. Faith and begorrah!
This is wonderful but what is that phone buzzing I keep hearing in the background
That was a holy cow story 😲
Damn! That guy getting the massage is as hairy as a gorilla! LOL!!!
Could be worse.
2:39 is this the first televised use of the word “duh”? It’s true what they say. There isn’t anything new under the sun :) well back to binge watching this wonderful show.
Good plot ... could have been written better but l enjoyed it nevertheless. Thanx fir the uppie.
I love how on tv people get executed almost immediately after being found guilty.
Holy moly! That's Barry Fitzgerald.Loved him in 'The Quiet man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Barry would warn them as they were courting, ' Now no patty cakes back there" or words to that effect.
Actually thats Barry Fitzderalds brother, Arthur Shields
He was also in the Quiet Man.....The Vicar
Yes, the Anglican vicar who played Tiddlywinks. He sounds like Barry in the Quiet man because he went heavier on the brogue in this one. I did not know they were brothers.
Didn't he play the Father in 'The Bells of St. Mary"?
If i had a massage like that i would end up in a wheelchair
Arthur Shields. Remember him from 1950's The Hardy Boys Mysteries.
I think the Barry Fitzgeralds brother.
@@alicemerchant3317 He was. Both great actors. They appeared together in The Quiet Man a non Western, non WW2 John Wayne movie.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix The Quiet Man was my grandfather's favorite movie. My dad told me. I wish I'd met my grandfather, boy oh boy
@@upthedownescalator630 It's one of my favorites too. Like things ought to be instead of are. I'm sure your granddad was a great guy if he liked that movie.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix I'm sure he was too. He was in Korea, and he was a pretty well known guy in the small town he came from. Taught my dad a lot. But he was a heavy smoker, and he died from lung cancer in 1986, twenty-one years before I was born.
Why don't more people who comment understand that these are true stories.
Thank-you PizzaFlix*
Dying but found on a ladder painting the house.
There are people for everything in this world, but the son's reaction to the bad news, before the father died, was exaggerated, I think
he felt guilty.
Good movie. The son was arrogant, disrespectful and dead wrong!
This man has got to be the nastiest, most miserable person ever. I can’t believe his father didn’t punish him when he let that poor horse die. Besides didn’t his father think to check on the animal himself? (I really hate when they make cruelty to animals part of a storyline. Kind of ruins everything for me.) Also, he murdered the stonecutter in 1957 and was executed in 1958? Times sure have changed.
I cringe when a family pet makes an entrance into a plot. I just know its life expectancy will be measured in minutes.
A bit contrived; he wouldn't have been sentenced to death for killing that demonic stone cutter, but to 10 years in prison.
It would have been a better ending, and more logical, if the stone cutter had carved his own deathdate before dying.
caring more for animals than humans, what culture is that?
Why a stimulant?
But menzies should of predicted his own death and chipped up a headstone years ago too.
My father was a " wealth of knowledge "
he was executed by the state? So the murder of a crazy old man is what it took to get them off their asses.

Firm believer When it is your time to go you are outta here. only one knows when
I wonder if the stonecutter had done a stone for himself.
Good show up to a point. Shouldn't someone who moves heavy gravestones and cuts them up on a daily basis be better able to defend himself against a plain vanilla choke hold? It's as if John Newland was directing Mantell and Burke to rush the scene so that PizzaFix could get to the following week's episode.
Guess it's too late to reshoot the scene.
the son is out of control
Great series yet the only thing that’s annoying is that any of the main characters is always arguing or shouting. There’s arguments in every episode and there’s always a shouter. 💁🏻♂️
The answer is no and no never did don't want to either
His anger was his guilt
Dad needs to accept the gifts from his son, if nothing else but to make him feel better. He is still his son. He needs to and stop looking a gift-horse in the mouth
The ability to predict a person's death is called clairvoyance. Or Second Sight.
What year was this?
1959
2068
The son was indenial and annoying I've had many premonitions of death all have come true what can you do when it's your time it's your time
Not gonna lie, this was a bit hard to watch cause it reminds me how I'm always putting my own dad off when he wants to do things with me
Our parents aren't here forever....and when there gone there gone.
@@owlthepirate5997 Ya didn't have to rub it in lol at least I've been trying to be nicer to them
@@upthedownescalator630 And one day you will be in the same position as them sometimes parents out live us..so be kind
@@Oceanusnovas-um2zf Yeah... I read somewhere that the worst thing someone could go through is outlive their own child. I believe it though. I've got to learn to be a little kinder to them both, but I'm a selfish teenager, I guess!
@Eilliw Nodrog I stay away from making friends usually, so I only have a couple, but yeah... Lately, at least, things went down and I've gotten more appreciative. This episode certainly didn't hurt lol
I wouldn’t be upset. Neat trick bro I’d say I only get the baby thing
I love the hairy chest, it is a shame he was just an adult child ie never learned to control himself to ensure a more positive outcome for all 🧐
STUPID storyline. You're duty as a parent is to prepare your kids for a goodly life of their own then LET THEM GO instead of morbidly clinging to them! So many parents destroy their children and are, out the 'goodness' of their terrified little hearts, the principle cause of their therefore miserable lives and untimely demise.
Sometimes a father doesn’t love his son so in the end it doesn’t matter about reconciliation. RIP father.
Hes really furry
Please hire someone who can understand English and translate correctly. The sub titles, punctuation and ease of reading was horrible.
Wow....not as good as a lot of Twi episodes, which is nothing against Twilight Zone...
