`HE'S ALIVE' is a good study of Fascism and Nazism and how it can affect an essential weak individual who carries strong inner hatreds which are probably aimed at himself but manifests that hatred towards others aided by the vision of Adolph Hitler. Denis Hopper is excellent as the figure with a spine of clay that elicits advice from his vision of Hitler played by Curt Conway. The choice of Conway was criticized for his lack of resemblance to Hitler. However, Conway's performance was right on target full of energy and conviction. He had Hitler's gestures down to a science. This is a very interesting episode written by Rod Serling and often overlooked. Vividly photographed. It fit the hour-long format perfectly. `SPUR OF THE MOMENT' contains some very frightening images filmed in broad daylight. The sight of a pursuing Diana Hyland on horseback dressed in flowing black are Freudian in nature and remain indelible to the viewer. Freely written by Richard Matheson but one of the most visually effective episodes. `FROM AGNES - WITH LOVE' is a lightweight episode but very appropriate for Wally Cox. You either like this one or you don't. Written by Barney Scofield and directed by Dick Donner! It was enjoyable to see so many actors from 1960's television on this DVD such as Wally Cox, Ralph Taeger, Dennis Hopper, Diana Hyland and Roger Davis.
