classic β€˜
Twilight Zone
’ episode!
The legendary
Superman
and
Lethal Weapon
director was mourned in and around Hollywood for his massive contributions to cinema.
It came as a bit of a shock to some to learn that
Richard Donner
directed arguably the most well-known '
Twilight Zone
' episode of all time, which just so happened to star
William Shatner
.
Donner
died on Monday at the age of 91. The legendary
Superman
and
Lethal Weapon
director was mourned in and around Hollywood for his massive contributions to cinema.
A Twitter user pointed out that it was actually
Donner
who was behind the camera for β€œ
Nightmare at 20
,
000 Feet
” or the β€œThere’s something on the wing!” episode of '
The Twilight Zone
'.
Shatner
saw the Twitter note and responded, β€œI am sorry to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful director. I don’t really have many memories of the shoot. It was chaotic; it was supposed to be a 4-day shoot & they cut it in half. They kept us there all night on the 2nd day to finish it. We were all sleep-deprived.”
β€œ
Nightmare at 20
,
000 Feet
” originally aired on Oct. 11, 1963, starring
Shatner
as Robert Wilson who is terrorized by a gremlin on the wing of his flight β€” or is he just crazy?
The story is one of the most popular of the classic anthology series and several TV shows and films have paid homage to the moment. One of most beloved was on '
3rd Rock from the Sun
' when
Shatner
guest-starred and says there was something on the wing of his flight.
John Lithgow
’s Dick Solomon responds that the same thing happened to him, a joke on the fact that
Lithgow
played a similar character in 1983’s
Twilight Zone
:
The Movie

It is a classic episode all right. It deserves remembering.

Bet the sleep deprivation contributed to the panicked behavior from Shatner.

I just recently (last week or so ) watched it. I didn't know he directed it.
, great job! I noticed that you've made some '
TTZ
' reviews on
IMDb
. Have you noticed this other reviewer
bombersflyup
who almost ALWAYS gives NEGATIVE reviews to 'TTZ'? What a JERK!

An all-time classic episode. Donner did a great job directing it under very difficult circumstances.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
