Night Gallery is considered Rod Serling's lesser series when compared with his legendary Twilight Zone. This anthology series didn't have the cultural impact of its predecessor since the stories didn't always go for the big twist ending. Many of the stories displayed in Night Gallery created an atmosphere of the macabre and grotesque that revealed a major shock. The macabre and grotesque action weren't too severe since this was broadcasted on TV back in 1971. But it was creepy enough to scar small kids with images of demons, devil dolls and brain-eating worms. Night Gallery: Season Two contains the series at its peak. »»
The cafeteria at Warner Brothers must have been one tough place. How could a contract actor not be intimidated carrying their tray past Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, George Raft and James Cagney? They'd be less nervous as fresh fish lunching at Alcatraz. It was a studio made for tough guys. Warner Gangsters Collection Vol. 4 keeps up the dirty work with thugs and classic mugs. These five films aren't considered landmarks of crime, but they are all gems of the genre. Four of them star Edward G. Robinson and twice he battles Bogart to the death. »»
