Third adaptation of story


FYI, for those folks that are interested this is actually the THIRD version of Godwin's story. The first version (which isn't available anywhere to my knowledge) is for the Boris Karloff TV series "Out of This World" produced in 1962.

I have to agree (although I haven't seen the 1962 version) that the Zone version is the definitive version of the story.

It's also been adapted at least twice for radio, most-recently by Joe Mahoney of the CBC; the adaptation aired as part of "Faster Than Light," a one-hour special about science-fiction I hosted for them. X-MINUS-1 did a version, too -- but Joe's was better. :)

I have a copy of the X-Minus1 version and it is one of my favorites.
