what it go to be like when it midnight all the time and nobody pay the electric bill . this be a delightful little anthology that tell three tale of terror surround three painting ( hence the original title of night gallery ) . i gather that this be the pilot to the television series that follow . the first tale involve that of a young man ( roddy mcdowell ) who kill his uncle to inherit his fortune and only to find himself haunt by a painting that hang in the house . excellent performance by roddy mcdowell and ossie davis along with a great story make this segment a very entertaining part of the whole . in the second segment and joan crawford play a blind woman who receive her sight back briefly when she pay a debtor to donate his eye to her . but she doesn not get quite what she have expect from the bargain . while this part of the movie be okay and it be definitely not as enjoyable a the first part . the last segment tell the tale of a nazi war criminal and play by richard kiley and hide out in south america to avoid prosecution who encounter a holocaust survivor and be affect by a fascinating painting in a museum . this segment take a more serious tone than the others and i can not decide whether i like this segment or the first story the best . this one be creepy and leave a more lasting impression and but roddy mcdowell performance in the first part be more striking . overall and this be a fun and if not terribly serious and make for television movie that do what it set out to do entertain the viewer . i generally like anthology a i think the short story be the right length for horror both in print and on film . this one be worth watch if you get the chance .
