<P> This episode revisits themes used in the series in the episodes "The Trouble with Templeton" (season 2) and "Walking Distance" (season 1)--namely, a person's propensity to romanticize and try to relive a past that may not have been at all as good as they like to remember it . </P> <P> Reginald Rose originally wrote "The Incredible World of Horace Ford" as a teleplay for Westinghouse Studio One, which originally aired live on June 13, 1955, starring Art Carney in the title role, with Leora Dana as Laura . The original ending was somewhat downbeat, and producer Herbert Hirschman asked Rose to create a slightly different (and happier) ending . Accordingly, the Twilight Zone version of the script is largely identical to the Studio One version, except that an epilogue has been added . In the Studio One version, the story ends at the Fords' apartment, with the audience invited to assume that Horace has been permanently transported back to his miserable past . In the Twilight Zone version, the story continues on: Laura leaves the apartment to find Horace, who magically transforms back into an adult and vows not to live in the past any longer . </P> <Ul> <Li> Pat Hingle as Horace Maxwell Ford </Li> <Li> Nan Martin as Laura Ford </Li> <Li> Ruth White as Mrs. Ford </Li> <Li> Phillip Pine as Leonard O'Brien </Li> <Li> Vaughn Taylor as Mr. Judson </Li> <Li> Jerry Davis as Hermie Brandt </Li> <Li> Billy E.
