The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."
This 1967 film, which preceded The Graduate, clearly demonstrates the early genius of Dustin Hoffman. The past and present co-exist in Maxwell Anderson's 1930's play when a disappointed inventor unleashes his latest gadget-a "star wagon"-that will return its driver to any desired point in time. The time machine gives him a chance to revamp his life. In an especially vivid characterization, a very young Dustin Hoffman portrays the inventor's muttering stooge. Also stars actor, comedian and game show regular Orson Bean (Being John Malkovich) Eileen Brennan (Private Benjamin, The Last Picture Show) and Richard Castellano (The Godfather's Clemenza).
