The one where the rabbit is chasing Jimmy Carter in his canoe.
David Ely’s novel it was based on, by the same name, is worth reading, too.
The woman was Donna Douglas, who played Ellie May on the Beverly Hillbillies, and she was gorgeous.
There were some other good ones too, but that one was divine inspiration.
One of my favorite movies, one: because she is in it, and two: because for that time period the special effects were extremely well done:)
His wife took all the labels off everything including the ketchup bottles, cans etc. So he couldn’t read at home!
our TV was maybe 8 inches across and two feet long. It looked like a laboratory instrument. We had a white vinyl chair that he was sitting in. I snuck up behind him in a dark room when the creature was tearing pieces off of the wing. I probably said boo. All I know is that my big brother levitated two or three feet off of that chair.
“Walking Distance.” Also my favorite. Gig Young is really great - and also the actor who plays the father.
>She was even more gorgeous in “Forbidden Planet”
>where she got to wear a really short dress.

Yes! The character was always wholly convinced of her own rationality in doing whatever horrific things she felt needed doing. A true sociopath, portrayed as a child.... and they say the fifties only dealt with fantasy, feel good foolishness...
Tatt
That was One Step Beyond.
The episode when the commuter rides the train every day and fantasizes about living in ideallic Willoughby, a town he sees as the train stops. One day, he decides to get off the train and of course as he does the train departs and he realizes that there is no Willoughby!
I just watched that the other day, she is just as mean now as she was back in the day, it was a well done movie. So many of them were done with no special effects to speak of and were great entertainment. A director today can't make a movie without millions of dollars of special effects, most of the movies today are remakes and most of them suck.
My favorite is when Hitler comes back to life around 1965 and buys the New York Times. Oh, sorry, my bad.
You should be flogged and then tarred and feathered for the above horror photo.
Metaphor for Obamacare...
I was eleven or so when I saw “Twenty-Two”. What made it spooky was that it was videotape and what you saw appeared live but wasn’t. The plane exploding on takeoff was horrific. And to this day I wonder where that nurse/stewardess got those exotic Central Asian features.
But my favorite episode is “A Piano in the House” where an arrogant theater critic buys a player piano for his beautiful young wife. Each piano roll when played affects those near the piano differently. Eventually it backfires on the critic (the actor, BTW, will soon celebrate his 100th birthday. The actress succumbed to cancer at 49).
