The Twilight Zone- In Praise of Pip(1963). Marvellous episode. I am seriously jealous of Rod Serlings writing abilities. A seedy bookie working for a mobster learns that his son has been mortally wounded in Vietnam and is dying. Regretting that he didnt spend more time with his son, he returns 300 dollars to a customer, and is shot by his mob bosss hit man in a struggle. Stumbling, wounded, to the local amusement pier, he meets inexplicably, an apparition of his son, who is a child again. They have some fun for a while until the son explains he is dying and has to leave. The bookie makes a bargain with God to take his life, instead of his son. A beautiful, wonderfully acted ep, and actually one of the first productions ever to deal with the then nascent Vietnam War https://youtube/watch?v=8VK9jk_SBXg&spfreload=10%20Message%3A%20JSON%20Parse%20error%3A%20Unexpected%20EOF%20(url%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8VK9jk_SBXg)
