James Best in The Twilight Zone (1959)

Goofs

The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank

The Twilight Zone

Edit

Continuity

In the breakfast scene, the front shot shows Pa Myrtlebank with a forkful of egg and there is a full piece of toast on his plate. When they switch to a rear shot, he is still holding the forkful of egg but the toast is gone.
When Doc Bolton is eating a pickle at the general store, the amount of pickle eaten changes from scene to scene.

Revealing mistakes

There are six air holes drilled at the head of Jeff Myrtlebank's coffin.

Character error

When Jeff's fiancée, Comfort, comes to warn him about the angry group of men coming to threaten him, the line in the script is "I rode out to warn you. There's a group of men comin' out from town. They're gonna ask you to move out of the county." Instead, Sherry Jackson, the actress playing Comfort, flubs the line, and says "I rode out to warn you. There's a group of men coming out from town. They're gonna ask you to move out of the COUNTRY." Jackson apparently had been having so much trouble saying the line as written that director, Montgomery Pittman, left the mistaken word in the final cut.
