Synopsis for
"The Twilight Zone"
Time Enough at Last (1959)

Henry Bemis (Burgess Meredith) is a bookish bank teller who has a childlike fascination for the written word...any written word be it books, periodicals, newspapers. He delights in taking any moment to read, through his incredibly thick "coke-bottle" glasses, even on his salaried time. He is consistently harrassed by his wife, customers and boss for his love of print to the point that he must sneak into the bank's vault where he works to read on his lunch hour. During one such visit, a nuclear bomb blast levels his city, leaving him unscathed, whereupon he exits to find that he has "time enough at last" to read all he wants when he finds the local library's contents scattered about. At this point, (warning: spoiler!) he stacks the books into towers and rejoices in the solitude that will allow him to read everything he can...but in reaching for a particular book, his glasses slip off his face and smash....leaving him to mutter: "That's not fair... that's not fair at all... There was time now.... There was..all the time I needed!.. It's not fair". The scene then closes with the image panning away from a crying Bemis.
