Trivia
Out of the 92 episodes of The Twilight Zone written by Rod Serling, this was his personal favorite.

Goofs
Despite the shock wave from the H-bomb that detonates while Bemis is in the safe breaking the crystal of his pocket watch, his glasses do not shatter. But the glass lenses in his eyeglasses are made of very thick glass which would be less likely to shatter from a shock wave.

Quotes
Rod Serling - Narrator: [Closing Narration] The best-laid plans of mice and men - and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis - in the Twilight Zone.
