You are right a...Great review of "Steel." You are right about the Van Cleve theme - it would make a great "Zone" signature tune, and also reminds me of Bernard Herrmann (what a coincidence, huh?) in his scores for "Psycho" and "Vertigo" (he *did* do Vertigo, right?)<br /><br />I reviewed Matheson's original story and this episode when "Real Steel" was being released. If you're so inclined, you can check my post out at http://thescifichristian.com/2011/10/re-read-and-retroview-richard-mathesons-steel/. <br /><br />For the record, I didn't think "Real Steel" was all that good - surprising, since, as you say, it had a lot going for it, going in. But it turned out pretty formulaic and lackluster.<br /><br />Looking forward to your take on "Nightmare at 20K Feet"!<br /><br />Mike Poteet (@Bibliomike)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363158930596606463noreply@blogger.com
