TV Review: Twilight Zone: One for the Angels (1959)

I decided to review each episode of Twilight zone, because except for the narrator (Rod Sterling), each episode has a different cast, and each episode also tells a unique story. 
This is the second episode of the first season.  Lou Bookman (Ed Wynn) has an appointment with Death (Murray Hamilton).  However, as many of us might want to do, he actually does.  He bargains with death, and gets an extension on his life.  He has unfinished business.  This business is to make the big sale, "One for the Angels.  He is a pitchman.  He sells items from a suitcase on the street.  But when he negotiates this with Death, he decides never to sell again. 
But death will not be denied.  So instead he sets his eyes on a child, a particular favorite of our pitchman.  The child is hit by a car, and in danger of dying.  She has an appointment now with death at midnight, taking Lou's place.
Lou sees his folly; but Death has already set his sights on someone else.  The only way the pitchman can save her, is by offering himself, but to do so he must make a sale for the ages.
Ed Wynn does an excellent job in this presentation.  He is laughing on the ceiling in "Mary Poppins" and is an actor I always enjoy.

Movie Review: ***^The Absent Minded Professor (1961)

This is an old Disney movie, but still a good one.  The premise is the professor gets so focused on what he is doing, he sometimes forgets things, like his own wedding.  However he does invent something he calls Flubber.  Flubber increases in energy as it bounces.  With this he helps the basketball team win, he impresses on the dance floor, and he makes a car that flies.  He tries to attract the government to buy his invention, so he can save the university from a loan shark.  However they aren't interested, at least not openly.  This is a fun show.  Sure the 1961 special effects aren't great, but Fred MacMurray is.  Also stars Nancy Olson as his girlfriend, Tommy Kirk as the loan shark's son and Ed Wynn in a small role as the fire chief.
