There was enough episodes of The Twilight Zone that we could cover the same ground, multiple times. If you were to watch these episodes back to back, it would seem they had ran out of ideas. But when they were originally broadcast, they were years apart. It has taken me almost seven years to get to Season 4 of The Twilight Zone, so it has been a while since I watched Time Enough At Last, Mr. Bevis and The Mind and the Matter.
All of these episodes center around the same sort of protagonist: the disaffected office worker who doesn't fit in to their job, and is harried by a boss, friends and family who try to corral them into a more conventional life. And this is the basis of Miniature, an hour long episode from the fourth season. But there is a little bit of difference in each of these stories, especially in the degree of sympathy with which their deviance is treated. Perhaps the biggest thing that this story adds to the formula was unintentional at the time. Many stories on The Twilight Zone relied on old character actors to fill this part, this one used an upcoming actor named Robert Duvall to play the role of Charley Parkes, an office worker who is fired from his job because he can't relate socially to his co-workers. The now unemployed Charley Parkes finds himself going to the local museum to look at a dollhouse, which in Twilight Zone fashion, soon turns out to be inhabited by miniature, moving people who only he can see. It is a somewhat silly premise, and the episode falls on the comedic side of The Twilight Zone spectrum.
But what sells this episode, more than half a century later, is Robert Duvall, and the fact that he seems to portray, long before it was a thing, a man with Asperger's Syndrome. In the episode, many of the psychological references are to Freudian psychology: Parkes lives at home with an overbearing mother. But Duvall seems to transcend this, changing his mannerisms and speech patterns to match what is, to modern viewers, someone who is somewhere on the spectrum. Perhaps this episode, as an idea, had a different point than the final product. The writer and director might have had something else in mind, but they happened to hire a young actor who was better than they knew, and ended up with a quite different focus to the story.
