Tales of the Unexpected: Set 1 (1979)
Horror · 10h 25m · 9/28/2004
Description
Like his children's books, Roald Dahl's adult stories never fail to surprise, though they make more chilling flights of fancy. Darkly humorous and playfully macabre, each standalone episode in this acclaimed series is a brilliantly acted little gem of creepy delight. Episode casts feature a cavalcade of stars, including Joan Alderston, Joan Collins, Joseph Cotten, José Ferrer, Michael Gambon, Susan George, John Gilegud, Julie Harris, Derek Jacobi, John Mills, and Elaine Stritch.
