These screen captures are from the 30-minute TV documentary on the making of
"A Town Has Turned to Dust," and also include Ron's comments from the programme.
(On the director - Rob Nilsson)
"Rob Nilsson has just done an amazing job of setting up a world that supports the notions of what prompted Mr Serling to write the script, which is basically racism."
(On his character - Jerry Paul)
"Jerry Paul is a guy who has been a part of that community for a couple of generations, and has risen, because of his ambition and ruthlessness, to the position of - sort of - town boss."
(On his portrayal of the character)
"You know that what you are about to do is so shocking, so savage, so monstrous, and you know that you're the key to stirring up the temperament of the crowd to make this event possible, and it made a very daunting morning for me."
(On the writer - Rod Serling)
"Great writers have the ability to just crystallise aspects of the human condition. And if they're told truthfully and well, filmickly it's about as compelling a way to have a catharsis, to really feel something that colours the way you're going to think and act for the rest of your life."
