This episode marks the series' first on-camera appearance of Rod Serling. edit »
Included on volume 43 of Image-Entertainment's DVD collection. edit »
The episode in syndication, at least on the SciFi Channel as of 2001, cuts the sequence where West creates an elephant to stop Victoria from leaving. The cut is abrupt and quite noticeable. According to The Twilight Zone Companion they went to great lengths to get an elephant. edit »
In the final scene, as Serling begins to make his ending voiceover narration, the character actually starts to interact with him. edit »

Gregory: You've got to believe me, Victoria. People in my plays do come alive. I've seen hem, I've talked to them, I've even shaken hands with them.
Victoria: You even made love to them, remember?
Gregory: Yes� I mean no! edit »
Rod Serling: We hope you enjoyed tonight's romantic story on The Twilight Zone. At the same time, we want you to realize that it was, of course, purely fictional. In real life, such ridiculous nonsense-
Gregory West: Rod you shouldn't! I mean, you shouldn't say things as "nonsense" and "ridiculous."
(Gregory throws a piece of tape labeled 'Rod Serling' into the fireplace.)
Rod Serling: Well that's the way it goes.
