8/10
The Arrogant Theater Critic and A Piano
25 July 2023
The arrogant theater critic Fitzgerald Fortune goes to a thrift store to buy a second-hand player piano for his wife. He tells to the owner that it is the birthday party of his young wife Esther and she is mediocre in music. When Fitzgerald arrives home, his butler Marvin has received the delivery of the piano. Fitzgerald shows the piano to Esther and Marvin and soon he learns that the music in the player piano forces the listener to tell the real feelings. Fitzgerald decides to play a prank on the guests for fun, but his plan backfires.

"A Piano in the House" is another great episode of "The Twilight Zone". The cruel and sadistic theater critic decides to humiliate his guests for his own pleasure, but in the end, everybody learns his character and personality, and how insecure and coward he is. In the end, he loses his wife and friends. A great lesson in the twilight zone. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Um Piano em Casa" ("A Piano in the House")
