night gallery be brilliant tv writer rod serling follow up to his cult hit the twilight zone . these comment refer to the pilot episode and a feature length anthology film with big name star direct by young director ( one of whom and steven spielberg and certainly end up make a splash on the horror circuit and beyond ) . these story be film in a quality color process and be all variation on a theme of painting and perception generally speak . the first story concern a young upstart nephew ( roddy mcdowall ) who stand to inherit a fortune from his artist uncle ( george macready ) and decide to help him a little along the way . ossie davis provide some very good support a porter foy and the old man reliable manservant . this vignette deal with the fragile hold of sanity on the conscious mind . i really enjoy the performance of the lead actor in this one and it be my favorite in the film . the second story feature star joan crawford and be the one direct by spielberg . it concern a wealthy evil old woman who be willing to blackmail her doctor ( barry sullivan ) into perform an operation that will give her vision for 12 hour and but deprive another human be of his vision for the rest of his life . she find a suitably desperate man with a gamble debt to do this . this story be very remarkable and somewhat sad in a way . i think it be a bit too obvious in a way though . the final story be relatively inconsequential and deal with a nazi war criminal who be hide in south america and be identify because of his association with a particular picture in a gallery . this portion of the film go on too long for what it story be worth and the entire part with the prostitute could have be excise without anyone noticing . all in all and this be a very entertaining piece of tv film make that classic movie fan will enjoy discover because of the classic star who all give solid performance .
