Gig Young stars as tired businessman Martin Sloan, who is traveling near his hometown of Homewood, who gets a stopover when his car is being serviced, and decides to walk back there just for old times sake, but is shocked to discover that it is just as he remembered it, right down to meeting himself as a young boy, and his long deceased parents. Just how can Martin deal with this inexplicable event, and should he try and advise his younger self in order to give himself a better future, or do childhoods come around only once? Superbly acted and written piece evokes strong nostalgic memories of childhood, and the unintended consequences of trying to change things. Will no doubt resonate more with older viewers, for obvious reasons.
