    • Trivia
      Peter Fonda, playing Marley, was edited out of this film shortly before it aired, yet he is still visible in a portrait on a wall in Grudge's study. He can also be glimpsed in reflection in the glass of a door and silently sitting at the dining room table.
    • Goofs
      The Andrews Sisters are billed in the closing credits as "The Andrew Sisters".
    • Quotes

      Daniel Grudge: [looking at girls with faces burned by radiation] Doctor, I know it's not much consolation, but, at least we can hope that their children won't...

      The Doctor: [incredulous] Children, Commander? These girls?

    • Alternate versions
      The version shown on Turner Classic Movies eliminates any mention of composer Henry Mancini, and replaces the opening 'Carol for Another Christmas' theme with a reprise of the choral music played over the closing credits.

    a worthwhile period piece..thanks Turner for showing for first time since 1964
    Since i was 8 the only time it aired I doubt i watched it surely had no idea what the purpose was. It is amazing to think that Peter Fonda was the son killed in WWII and his first name was "Marley".. YOu should look at Serling's Wikipedia entry to see his service in the Pacific in 1045..Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Phillipine Lib Medal and incredible stories. Sterling Hayden was Mr Grudge- and was a WWI (not II) veteran..in 1964 WWI vets were only in their mid 60's. That was past, along with a creepy Hiroshima sequence. Present was a hedonistic free world letting everyone starve..and the Future was after WWIII(with a madman ruler). Certainly would baffle anyone today but moderately effective. Go to Wikipedia and see that Hayden was in the OSS and paratrooped into Yugoslavia..where he befriended Tito which led to his blacklisting. Hayden and Serling certainly had life experiences. A somewhat clumsy/contrived movie but worth seeing to understand how those who grew up in the 30' and 40's lived and what they experienced
