I never really liked this episode of the Twilight Zone, and I have seen it many times since I was a kid. I did not find Barry Nelson or Nancy Malone to be very convincing as a married couple, and the whole story seems a bit sterile. The train ride around town reminds me of the train ride that is at Disney World. It just goes around in a circle.
Every time I see Barry Nelson in this episode, he reminds me of John F. Kennedy. JFK had been assassinated the year before this episode was aired. The whole theme of some all-American couple stuck in an artificial, dead, play-world still gives me the creeps. It makes me think of JFK and his wife Jackie, and the artificial Camelot paradise that the press used to write about. Living under the view of the public eye, is that much different than living in a play world or as a museum exhibit?
I agree with some of the other comments. Other shows have done this story better. However, even though this may not have been a great episode, it was good drama. It manages to give me the creeps, and to some degree that is what the Twilight Zone was supposed to do. I wonder if Rod Serling had JFK and Jackie in mind or if he saw any similarities in the story?
