Talk:Eye of the Beholder (The Twilight Zone, 1959)

message: Donna Douglas's voice is NOT heard in this episode, she is dubbed by the other actress. Donna's talents were not such that she could turn her thick accent off at will.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.115.236.120 (talk) 15:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Maxine Stuart was going to dub through the end, but then the director decided that Donna Douglas was such a good actress that they would just leave it and let her say the lines. Marc Zicree's "The Twilight Zone Companion" talks about it, and you can find other details online, I would think.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.176.179 (talk) 21:47, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Voice dubbing

message: This page says that this is Janet's ninth surgery. However, I know for a fact that this is Janet's eleventh time in the hospital. She says so herself in her conversation with the doctor. Am I wrong here? User:notecardforfree 1:11 PST June 13, 2007
:No , You are right. The doctor thinks it is her ninth but is corrected by Janet who says it was 11th Bridgemo 18:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Nine Surgeries or Eleven?

message: The trivia section notes that "The Private World of Darkness" is the original title, yet "Eye of the Beholder" is the "correct" title.  Can anyone add some insight as to why it was changed?  I seem to remember not finding an explanation on the alternate titles in Zicree's Twilight Zone Companion, either, so any other leads would be helpful.

text: Of course, while the phrase from the proverb does, in one sense, tip off the final reveal, the power of the story results from the fact that the conclusion inverts the concept.WHPratt (talk) 14:18, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

text: SyFy Channel showed this today as part of their traditional Twilight Zone Marathon for holidays. And what does the blurb on our on-screen cable guide (Spectrum) say? "'The Eye of the Beholder' A woman's natural beauty makes her a freak in a futuristic society." Thus does Gracenote, Inc., with just 12 words to work, blow the reveal!

thread_title:  What's with the alternate title? 

message: I'm watching an episode of Spongebob right now and the entire thing is an extended homage to this classic Twilight Zone episode. See link here: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/The_Two_Faces_of_Squidward
I'm a wiki n00b, so figured I'd let someone else do the honors and actually add this to the real page? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.94.226 (talk) 02:56, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Need to distinguish original from remake

message: This article refers to the episode as "Eye Of The Beholder" and "The Eye Of The Beholder."  Which is it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.232.120 (talk) 04:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly the definite article was dropped from the infobox header to keep it short... AnonMoos (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Having just watched this episode, I can state with absolute certainty that the title is "Eye of the Beholder."  I.e., the initial "The" is not present and therefore the entire page/article should be renamed accordingly to match reality.  There should be no confusion on this point.  I am happy to provide a screen capture should anyone need more convincing.  WavSlave (talk) 02:41, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Is the qualifier "(by the contemporary viewer's standards)" necessary?  This is supposed to be a serious encyclopedia. Gloryroad (talk) 06:07, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't read this as a putdown of modern standards, but rather acknowledgement of the context of the story. We, the viewers, will regard these two as beautiful and handsome, while the world they're in storywise considers them hideous. Stating this without the qualification belies the lesson.
