 Amazon.com: The Twilight Zone: Walking Distance/ Kick the Can (1959) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Serling's emotional identification with this story of a tired advertising man who revisits his old hometown in a desperate effort to "put in a claim to the past" is clearly audible in his narrations, particularly the middle one ("A man can think a lot of thoughts..."), in which he sounds close to tears.
Other reviewers have called "Walking Distance" the finest study of humanity ever put on television - and I can believe that this is true.
The theme of "Kick the Can," the second episode on this video, is also that of a mature man reencountering youth (the episode even uses some of Herrmann's music from "Walking Distance").
