a game of pool

[JamisonNeu]

I just watched the best pool video of all time. It is a old Twilight Zone episode called "A Game of Pool" written by George Clayton Johnson. A half hour that says more about "pool" than all the other media ever made. I was wondering if anyone knows who did the shooting? It didn't say in the credits.

Not sure who did the shots, but I agree its one of the best pool lessons you can ever learn. JMO.

I love it, one of the best!

I looked it up it was made in 1961 still no mention of who made the shots. George Johnson also made a game of pool again in 1985 "remix."

The "game of Pool" is a favorite of mine, but this one is getting my attention "Goodbye Johnny"

I've seen the older and newer version, the 1961 version with Jack Klugman is the best.

Normaly I would let this die, but not this time. I think this should be required to watch before you ever pick up a cue...I found the original video on you tube.

I thought the same thing about it. It gives a true insight to playing pool as a love. Its an addiction for sure. Some have givin their lives to it. It one of my many favorite Twilight Zone episodes.

I'm sure it must have been Mike Sigel

thanks for the thread and the links. I enjoyed that episode. I'm not sure which ending I prefer the actual one or the script one...interesting for me to contemplate anyway.
