Inthe Kingdom of Longtrellis, the King and Queen cannot conceive a child. A necromancer suggests that if the Queen eats a sea dragon's heart cooked by a virgin, she will be with child, but this will cost a life. The King slays the sea dragon but dies from his wounds. The Queen eats the heart and the next day bears a son, Elias, with hair as white as the dragon. The cook also gives birth to a boy, Jonah. The boys are identical and inseparable friends. This so vexes the Queen that she attempts to murder Jonah, though he manages to escape. Jonah leaves the kingdom, plunging a knife into a tree root and telling Elias that as long as the root spouts clear water, he is alive and well. One day, the water is clouded with blood. Elias leaves to find Jonah. The Queen has her subjects search for Elias to no avail. The necromancer blames the Queen and says the youths are truly inseparable and that her violent desire can be achieved only through violence. Elias finds Jonah wounded in a cave. They are threatened by a monster, which wounds Jonah but hesitates to attack Elias, who kills the monster and returns Jonah to his wife. In the cave, the monster's corpse dissolves into that of the Queen.

The lustful King of Strongcliff is intrigued by the sound of a woman's heavenly singing. He courts her outside her home, unaware that she is one of two elderly sisters, Imma and Dora. Dora agrees to spend the night with him as long as it is in complete darkness. He is horrified when he sees her appearance the next morning and has his guards throw her out of a cliffside window. She survives, entangled in the branches of a tree. A witch rescues her and nurses her from her breast. Dora awakens as a young, beautiful maiden. The King comes upon her while hunting and decides to make her his Queen. Dora invites Imma to the wedding and promises to take care of her, but says she can not stay in the castle. Imma refuses to leave, asking for the secret to her sister's youth and beauty. In annoyance, Dora says she got herself flayed. Finally thrown out after violating the royal couple's privacy in their bedroom, Imma finds someone willing to flay her, leaving her bloody and disfigured.


The King of Highhills becomes fascinated by a flea, which he hides in his room as a pet. It grows gigantic under his care. When it dies, the King decides to skin it. His daughter Violet tells him she wants to be married, so he offers her as a bride to whoever can guess from what beast the skin was taken, believing no one can do so. However, an ogre correctly identifies the hide by smell. Violet is horrified, but her father says he can not go back on his word. Violet goes through with the marriage but says her father never loved her. The ogre takes Violet to his cave, where she is kept prisoner. A family of acrobats helps her to escape, but the ogre gives chase and kills the entire family. He is mollified by Violet, who then slits his throat. Violet returns to the castle, where the King has grown ill and reveals she has the head of the ogre, the husband he "chose" for her. The King falls to his knees crying, and the courtiers follow suit. Violet, too, begins to cry.


Elias, Dora, and the King of Strongcliff are among the guests for Violet's coronation as Queen. There, Elias nods to her and the King of Strongcliff. As Violet's father walks her to the throne, the crowd looks skyward, where an entertainer is walking a tightrope of fire. Dora's beauty begins to fade and, unnoticed, she flees the castle.


In an interview with Variety, director Matteo Garrone emphasized that the three tales have contemporary themes: "plastic surgery; the frenzied desire to have a child; the conflict between generations; the painful passage from adolescence to adulthood."[7] He has also said that although the three stories have distinct themes, they are all connected to the idea of desire that can lead to obsession. Although screenplays were written for other tales in the Basile collection, those filmed told the story of "a woman in three different stages of her life": youth, motherhood and advancing age.[8]


According to Matteo Garrone, he was drawn to Giambattista Basile's stories for their mixture of the real and the unreal, and because he found the themes in many of them to still be highly relevant. Garrone had previously been best known for employing a naturalist style in films such as Gomorrah, but argued that all his previous films also have a fairytale aspect to their narratives.[2] An important source of inspiration was Francisco Goya's Los caprichos collection of etchings. For Garrone, they encapsulated the mood of Basile's tales.[9]


Tale of Tales had a budget corresponding to USD$14.5 million.[2] It was produced through Garrone's company Archimede Film, with co-production support from France's Le Pact and Britain's Recorded Picture Company. It received financing from Rai Cinema and additional support from MiBACT and Eurimages.[10]


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 83% approval rating based on reviews from 10 critics, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Visually splendid and narratively satisfying, Tale of Tales packs an off-kilter wallop for mature viewers in search of something different."[18] On Metacritic, the film has received a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[19]


Since the show had numerous stories of various lengths per hour, many of the shorter segments had to be expanded in the re-editing with superfluous, meaningless footage, serving only to confound the narrative. Conversely, many segments longer than the half-hour time slot were severely trimmed of key scenes, making them even more perplexing than their shorter counterparts. Some segments were missing half their original length in syndication.


The staircase walls (and this set appears to be re-used in several subsequent episodes) contain paintings made by the old uncle. The scenes painted are dark in nature, including one of the cemetery which lies just outside the house. There is also a glowering self-portrait hung at the top of the stairs.


Later, the painting has a casket partly in the grave, causing Jeremy to erupt in a fury, yanking the painting off the wall and tossing it into the fireplace, where it burns. He goes upstairs, relieved, then sees the painting is again on the wall, this time showing a man, his uncle, in the open casket, leading to a scream of horror from Jeremy.


When (Mr.) Portifoy glances at the picture, he sees that it now shows two graves. We have the same progression as before, but much more quickly, this time with Jeremy rising from the grave and approaching the house. The door opens, Portifoy screams and we fade to black.


Overall, this segment is an excellent introduction to the series. However, the ending falls flat and is simply unnecessary. Incidentally, in the syndicated version of the show aired on tv, the endings often are dissatisfying, but this is usually due to the heavy editing the stories underwent to put it into the 30-minute package. Still, the occasional original version suffers from the same weakness, and this is one of them.


When it is made clear that Portifoy was changing the paintings on the wall in order to drive Jeremy insane, it provides a deflating real-world explanation to what seemed like a frightening dose of occult-style justice.


The moral grounds are not an issue for Menlo, of course, and she surprises Heatherton by informing him she has found a donor willing to give up his eyes for $9,000. She then uses blackmail to force him to perform the operation by threatening to expose some long-ago medical transgression that could ruin his career.


The episode really slows to a near halt in the overly long sequence with Resnick meeting with Heatherton and a surgical colleague to sign his consent to the surgery and receive his payment. The scene tugs, yanks and gloms on to the heartstrings and would have been more effective had it been substantially trimmed.


As she blinks her eyes open, Spielberg gives us her point of view as we see the rising sun coming into focus. Excitedly, she begins to stand, but the sun then dims and fades from her view, which has again gone black as the 11 hours have concluded. Desperate and in denial, she moves closer to the window in hopes of restoring her vision of the sun, but she moves too close, breaking the window and falling through to her death in another highly imaginative shot where the camera zooms downward with the glass shattering on the pavement below, making us feel that we, too are falling.


Strobe returns to the gallery the next morning and again sees his face in the painting. He seems to be visualizing himself there, to escape his reality, his guilt, his running away, his looking over his shoulder.


Attempting to leave town by bus, the Israeli agents who were following Strobe in the car at the beginning of the episode, catch up with him. He manages to escape and a chase ensues, leading to the art museum. Inside the darkened gallery, Strobe finds the spot where his idyllic painting hung, wills/prays himself into it.


We find out that the painting of the fisherman had been moved and in its place now hangs the painting of the crucifixion scene, this time, as the camera zooms in on it, with the terrified face of strobe on the man on the cross.


Teleplay by Douglas Heyes, story by Fritz Leiber Jr.

Directed by Douglas Heyes

Carl Betz as Dr. Max Redford

Jeff Corey as Dr. Miles Talmadge

Louise Sorel as Velia Redford

Michael Blodgett as John Fearing


The particular patient, or perhaps subject would be a better description, John Fearing (Michael Blodgett) originally came to Redford ill and Redford cured him. Then he came back with a different illness and Redford cured him again. The pattern continued, making Fearing perhaps the first recidivist medical patient. Now, Fearing is the ultimate male specimen for the surfer crowd: young, muscular, tanned, exceedingly handsome with flowing blonde curls atop his head.
