A Stop at WilloughbyEpisode Number: 30 Season Num: 1 First Aired: May 6, 1960 Prod Code: 173-3629 |
Riding home on the train one day, a man falls asleep and dreams it is 1880, and he is entering a small town called Willoughby.
| Writer: | Rod Serling |
| Director: | Robert Parrish |
| Star: | Rod Serling (Narrator/Host), James Daly (Gart Williams) |
| Guest Star: | Patricia Donahue (Jane Williams), Howard Smith (Mr. Misrell), Jason Wingreen (Train Conductor), Mavis Neal Palmer (Helen), James Maloney (1888 Train Conductor), Billy Booth (First Boy), Butch Hengen (Second Boy), Ryan Hayes (Engineer), Max Slaten (Man on the Wagon) |
Mr. Serling said that this was his favorite episode of the first season.
(edit)
Williams' mention of "The Bradbury Account" is an in-joke reference by Serling to legendary fantasy writer Ray Bradbury, of whom Serling was a big fan (and whose story "I Sing the Body Electric" was later adapted as a TZ episode).
(edit)
Included on volume 34 of Image-Entertainment's DVD collection.

Conductor: Willoughby -- this stop, Willoughby.
(edit)
Mr. Misrell: A push, push business -- push and drive -- all the way, all the time.
(edit)
Secretary: Can I get you anything, sir?
Gart: Yes, a sharp razor and a chart of the human anatomy showing all the arteries. (edit) Gart: Fat boy, why don't you shut your mouth! (edit) (Closing Narration)
Narrator: Willoughby? Maybe it's wishful thinking nestled in a hidden part of a man's mind, or maybe it's the last stop in the vast design of things, or perhaps, for a man like Mr. Gart Williams, who climbed on a world that went by too fast, it's a place around the bend where he could jump off. Willoughby? Whatever it is, it comes with sunlight and serenity, and is a part of the Twilight Zone. (edit)

A Stop at WilloughbyPerfect "Fine example" A man is stressed from work and a busy life when he slips into the Twilight Zone. It comes in the form of a peaceful town he visits every time he gets on the train. No such thing as Willoughby, so say the others on the train. Continue » Posted Jul 10, 2007 2:12 pm PST |
