Richard Donner steps behind the camera to bring one of the finest, most twisted episodes to the screen in The Ventriloquist's Dummy. Billy Goldman is a timid, novice ventriloquist who tracks down his idol, Mr. Ingles, for a few trade tips. But Billy finds a broken down old man with a major secret: Ingle's dummy was controlled by his savagely deformed twin brother who hangs from his wrist...a little, murderous twin named Morty.
Ingle's hacks free Morty, who quickly tries to kill Billy and the aging ventriloquist. Pretty warped stuff, huh? This episode was amazingly true to it's 50's comic origins, in both style and substance. Don Rickles is surprisingly quite a good actor as the tortured Ingles and comedian Bobcat Goldwaithe is even a hoot to watch! Watch for director Richard Donner in a the background as Ingles sits a the bar.
