very well make tv movie and with 3 different story . the first star roddy mcdowall a a bastard nephew who kill his uncle to take his money and then be haunt by the ghost of the uncle ( or so he think ) to death . ossie davis also star in this episode and and he wonderful . this be my personal favorite of the three . roddy be snide and sly a the nephew and and when he start to come unhinged he marvelous . the second star richard kiel a a wwii concentration camp captain hiding in some south american city and where he become strangely fixate with an idyllic painting of a man fishing in a mountain lake . the painting hang in a museum and and he spend day after day in there just star at it and eventually feel himself draw into the painting . it a relief to be hound no longer by the war crime police when he in the painting . but back in reality he recognize a a nazi who be condemn after the war and and a former camp inmate tell the police about him . kiel run to the museum and intent on go into the life in the painting for good . but he make a big and big mistake and will spend eternity pay for it and his crime against humanity . the last episode star joan crawford in a pretty much one woman play . she a blind rich woman and living in a huge penthouse apartment in nyc and who pay a loser for his cornea so that she can have them transplant in her eye . the kicker be that she will only be able to see for about 8 hour and and she doesn not care a bit that the man she take the cornea from will be blind forever . she have the operation and and when the time come to take the bandage off and the instant she do the city be plunge into a blackout . she spend the 8 hour try to get out of the apartment building in the dark stairwell and and finally make it back to her apartment when the sun come up . she finally see the sun and but it the last thing she do . i love this movie while and i also love night gallery and but this film have 3 different viewpoint and would appeal to a large audience . all the performance be excellent . steven spielberg direct the joan crawford segment and eye while it be one of his first director assignment .
