      Audience Member One of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone is "A Stop at Willoughby," perhaps because it's about advertising. Then again, it's also about nostalgia and the pull of better times, which we all feel as we grow old. Charles Lattimer (Mark Harmon) is an ad guy facing the gears of the business wearing him down, all while his marriage to Kristen (Catherine Hicks) is nearing its end. Every day, he rides the train and when the conductor (Bill Cobbs) gives him a pocket watch, he's able to go past the sprawl and into Willoughby in the 1890s. That's where he finds purpose and discovers that the illustration that he's based his new campaign around came from his own pen. And oh yes, there's new love with Laura Brown (Mary McDonnell). As always, I prefer the much tighter original, as this has too much fluff and too happy an ending. Director Steven Schachter and writer Vivienne Radkoff have mostly made TV movies, but they turn in a fine film here, even if it's not really necessary. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review robert r Loved the cast, plot, and the characters. The fellow who sold the watch really pulled you into the story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It was ok. Wasn't very sentimental and I didn't like the casting of Laura. She reminded me of Elizabeth Bennett's actress in the 1995 Pride and prejudice. It ended alright. Decent. Glad it ended how I wanted it too Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
