This short biographical documentary focuses on the full spectrum of Rod's achievements for early television, his commitment to both social and cultural possibilities of the medium, and his deep connection with his hometown.
The video was produced in cooperation with Rod's wife Carol Serling, the Ithaca College School of Communications, CBS Photography in New York and WSKG Public Television in Binghamton. It was narrated by Rod's famed high school drama teacher and life-long friend, Ms. Helen Foley.

As a graduate student studying script writing, I enjoyed and appreciated the final clip. Rod hits the nail on the head regarding the problematic approach in college level courses. We need more hands on experience. I wish Rod taught film at my school. RIP to both Rod and Carol Serling!!
Thank you for sharing your creative gift with the world, Mr. Serling. Rest in Peace and Blessed Be.
So glad he smoked so heavily.
Never knew he was WW2 Airborne thanks for this
He was a veteran
@@frankdenardo8684 Yes Rod Serling was in the US Army during WW2 seeing combat
Rod Serling had a great voice for narrating documentaries.
Fascinating man.
My father served in the same Pacific theater battles as Mr. Serling. The nightmares stayed with him until his death at 96. He smoked 2 packs of Camel studs a day from '46-75 when he quit and got another 40 years (They got 2 packs of Lucky's daily in combat).
My respects to him and all Vets
The 'Twilight Zone' episode 'Walking distance' is quality drama and commercial. A brilliant piece of writing and performance.
Oscar winning actor Gig Young guest starred.
Incredible man. Sublime mind. Love Rod Serling. Thanks so much for posting
The greatest ever
I think Raoul Trujillo would be perfect for a remake of twilight zone, they look alike
@JabalBob
Thank you so much for sharing this historic treasure. The original analogue version was most likely destroyed or thrown away...like so many original recording sessions of famous musicians.
Hopefully not.
Happy that you enjoyed it. I think Serling's television work is safely archived, including in several academic research libraries for future generations, thank goodness.
I remember as a young boy seeing his initials carved on Ross Park
loved this man
27:26 for all the student filmmakers.
I agree with what Rod says wholeheartedly. I'm a grad student studying script writing, and whenever the chance comes to shoot something it's treated like a big event. In reality, it should be something the student does every day. I mean the time studying needless theories could be spent developing and fine tuning your skills.
Looks good, but audio and video are not in sync.
Yes, you're correct. The source was actually converted to this format quite a while ago when transfer quality was less than what is available today.
Serling died in 1975. Wonder when this was made? I noticed him coughing that deep cancer cough. I bet he didnt live long after this _ he kept his cigarette burning. That is a hard core addiction. I beat itbut damn it was a battle
He did THE ZERO HOUR radio drama 1973-75 good radio show before he died from chronic heavy smoking. a Slow suicide Philip Morris cigarettes killed him. " He died before his time"
Yeah, smoking did him in. But I wouldn't use the word 'suicide' to describe his lifestyle. Rod Serling was as far from committing suicide as one can get. His whole generation, and especially those who came back home from WWII, were smoking non-stop. It was a very popular social activity.
Thank God he smoked 60-80 cigarettes a day.
