This is a special made by WGN-9 Chicago to tie in with the release of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Hosted by Carol Serling (Rod's window), it features the three episodes of the original series that were adapted into the movie: Kick the Can, It's a Good Life and Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. There is also some behind the scenes footage from the filming of the movie including brief interviews with the directors.
The story, told partly in flashback to 1968, concerns a clique of English public schoolboys who bully and humiliate an unpopular younger pupil (Cox) who is 'bad at games'.
“The details of the young actor’s face – his eyes, eyebrows, earlobe, chin, etc. – are set opposite the old buildings in the market quarter of Athens, where every street is named after a classic ancient Greek playwrite.
When his parents are killed by three men, Amar, Akbar and Anthony, Vijay teams up with a forest officer who was framed in a murder case to avenge their deaths.
Mimosa is about a girl growing up in an orphanage who tries to make life fun for all the residents. It's a great Easter story, an animated fairy tale about a witch kid and what she's up to in the orphanage while the mother witch whips around with her broom.
The film is inspired by the Mário de Sá-Carneiro short story, where the narration is made by Professor Antena's assistant who walks by his side when he is run over in a perhaps enigmatic way.
