Twilight Zone-Hawaiin Style
17 June 2003 | by (Toronto) – See all my reviews

Not at all like the TV series. MR.Roarke and Tatoo were more like enigmatic genies than the cosy middle-class hosts they later became."Be careful what you wish for, because you might end up getting it!" The three stories were differenciated by moral depth.One was tragic,one sober and the last light hearted.Quite good for a MOW-pilot.
