The Twilight Zone (r1s01e30)
A Stop at Willoughby
by Rod Serling, directed by Robert Parrish
On a snowy November evening during his train commute home from New York City, John Daly
falls asleep and, perhaps in a dream, sees a simpler life with bands playing in the
bandstand, people riding penny farthings through the park, and kids fishin’ at their
fishin’ holes the 1888 summertime of idyllic Willoughby.
— Michael Main
Willoughby, sir? That’s Willoughby right outside. Willoughby, July, summer. It’s
1888—really a lovely little village. You ought to try it sometime. Peaceful, restful,
where a man can slow down to a walk and live his live full-measure.
