n 1970 University of Kansas professor James Gunn interviewed a series of science fiction authors for his Centron film series “Science Fiction in Literature”. This footage from an unreleased film in that series featuring an interview with Rod Serling, which wasn’t finished due to problems with obtaining rights to show footage from Serling’s work in television. This reconstruction is based on the original workprint footage that was saved on two separate analog sources since the audio track was separate.

Serling has not been topped in writing for television, there are those that have come close though, but I will gladly watch, read, and listen to anything with Rod Serling’s creative genius attached to it.
Great find, Retroist!
