I recall attending an Oboler-attended screening at the late lamented Sherman theater in Sherman Oaks (Ca) of FIVE and THE TWONKY. Although FIVE had played on tv, TWONKY was at the time a virtually lost film, so the theater was packed. FIVE, a Very Earnest Movie, ran first, and the audience, as audiences tend to do at older movies, chuckled at various points throughout, particularly at what they saw as the stereotyped German character. Oboler was brought onstage between features and cast a bit of a pall over the evening: he was absolutely furious at the reception to FIVE and accused the audience of knowing nothing about the past, and how terrible the Nazis had been and despaired for the future of the human race if this was how the new generation reacted to the legacy of its elders. Attempts were made to get him to lighten up, but he was genuinely offended. Obviously FIVE was a passionate statement for him. He had little to say about THE TWONKY, universally reviled both in its day and now. I pretty much like both films for various reasons, and I've always had a lot of respect for Oboler as well.
