The Old Man and His Clock
21 October 2023
The clock-watcher Sam Forstmann is an old man that lives with his granddaughter Marnie Kirk and her husband Doug Kirk in their house. Sam takes care of a watch that his grandfather gave to him and believes that he will die when the clock stops. Therefore, he takes care of the clock along the day and night. The couple is worried with Sam's behavior and sends him to be examined by the psychiatrist Dr. Mel Avery. Sam decides to sell his clock to Marnie's next-door neighbor and friend Carol Chase. When she travels with her husband in the weekend, Sam becomes desperate.

"Ninety Years Without Slumbering" is a nice episode of "The Twilight Zone". The old Sam Forstmann and his pregnant daughter Marnie Kirk are sweet characters and the conclusion is a surprising twist in the story. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "90 Anos sem Descanso" ("90 Years Without Resting")
