Four Star Playhouse The Room (1952–1956) watch online HD

Normally, "Four Star Playhouse" episodes are straight dramas. They are rarely fantasy or supernatural pieces. However, this one surely is and plays like a bad episode of "The Twilight Zone" and is disappointing.

Dick Powell plays an American doctor who inexplicably wants to move to a poor town near Havana. You learn it's because of the very high death rate there--much, much higher than the rest of the country. However, he soon learns that the town hates doctors...and apparently it's because it's a superstitious place and some 200 year-old guy doesn't like doctors!! No one has seen him but everyone knows that horrors will befall them if they allow a doctor in town. But, the town already is crappy...so, so much for logic. The conclusion to all this is pretty obvious and it's a rather dopey and disappointing show with little to commend it. Oh well....at least you get to see Dick Powell shoot a couple people...too bad one wasn't the guy who wrote the script!
