To Serve Man" Forty years ago, a movie narrated by Rod Serling, "To Serve Man" starred Lloyd Bochner and Susan Cummings. It depicted an alien space craft landing on earth. The head alien gave the people of earth a book. With a special beam, all diseases vanished. Crops grew in abundance. Humans grew fat and happy. Soon, the aliens gave humans free trips back to their home planet. The aliens gave humans a choice to stay on the new planet. Flights left daily. Amazingly, no one returned to earth -- except more space ships for transport. Where did they go, and what did they do? Near the end of the movie, Susan Cummings ran up to Bochner with a horrifying look on her face. "What's the problem?" Bochner asked. "This book," she said, "To Serve Man, well, our best experts have deciphered it." "What did they learn?" Bochner asked. Susan Cummings burst into tears, "It's a cookbook!" Didn't you just love Rod Serling? |
