Frases destacadas:

Opening Narration: Street scene: summer. The present. Man on a sidewalk named Lew Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Lew Bookman, a fixture of the summer, a rather minor component to a hot July, a nondescript, commonplace little man whose life is a treadmill built out of sidewalks. In just a moment, Lew Bookman will have to concern himself with survival, because as of three o'clock this hot July afternoon he'll be stalked by Mr. Death.

Closing Narration: Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer, formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But throughout his life, a man beloved by the children, and therefore a most important man. Couldn't happen, you say? Probably not in most places - but it did happen in the Twilight Zone.


Curiosidades:

- Al principio del capítulo podemos ver un cameo de Robby el robot (Planeta Prohibido).

Bueno, ahora ya si que cojo carrerilla

[Polcius]

No está mal. Demasiado tono moralizante, argumento demasiado simplón. Mención especial a los actores.
