Reviews (1)
Sentenced to death but with an invincible hunger for life in a taciturn story which was among other things bought in Cannes for the purposes of the fifth series of The Twilight Zone, where it fitted like a glove even though it wasn’t one of the best episodes. It was its screening as an episode of this cult series that brought fame to this successful adaptation back then, rather than the Oscar that it won in the short film category.
