Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S3 E18


Season 3:  Episode 18:  Dead Man's Shoes

I must admit I had early reservations about this story line, of a man killed by a mobster who has his personality transferred into a homeless man on the street when he steals his shoes and puts them on. But the part of the homeless man, Nate Bledsoe, who transforms into Dane, is played so well by Warren Stevens that it makes the episode extremely watchable. He is able to make you believe that he is both of these men, and the way he especially plays the scene in his bedroom, where he changes personality as to whether he has the shoes on or off, is excellent.
All in all, this was a pleasant surprise, a simple story told well, but especially acted well.

Rating:  4/5
