The Twilight Zone episode WALKING DISTANCE.
I studied screenwriting in college, and the piece that inspired me to become a writer was the WALKING DISTANCE episode of the Twilight Zone. I first saw it at 12 in the spring of 1974 when it was on in syndication, and that was it. I cry every time I watch it.
It was the second episode of the first season, I believe.
Amazing to see it referenced in this movie, which I worked on in a small capacity in the hospital scene. My work was cut, but interestingly enough, that scene was shot in the Bronx.
