All together now: "They just don't make them like this any more". And as I've commented elsewhere, they COULDN'T make them like this any more. Emotional sensibility is partly social and cultural . . . and it would be hard to find enough writers, directors, actors who share the OSB sensibility today. Maybe we do other things better today (of course . . .), but not this particular kind of thing . . .
Well said. I totally agree. I would watch syndicated episodes, back to back;🍿🍿 Saturday nights, mid 1980s on the local ABC affiliate in Las Vegas.🍿🍿🍿🍿🍣🍣🍷🍸
Overall, I like it better than the Twilight Zone. I think it was partially due to timing. Twilight Zone came out later, when the Space Race which encourage people to think beyond their ordinary lives, Maybe better TV's and who knows what else?
I've experienced some of what she did, especially as portrayed in the recording. After my husband died, I found myself pleading with him, begging him to please let me see him one more time. This went on for a couple of years. I would pretend to see him, hear him, fantasy "memories " & real memories. I would laugh, holding conversations with him, reenacting a memory. I would dance with him, hold him, tilt my head to the side so that he could tickle-kiss my neck. He was the polar opposite of the husband shown here. So, no wonder I lived in a fantasy world after he died. The heartbreak was/is real & intense.
I was a Hospice RN for 17 years. I've had so many experiences with people my patients saw, and with some of my patients themselves before and after they died. We do continue, on and on.
A poor lonely housewife, remembering when life was more fulfilling. A jerk of a husband, and uncaring about her. And the ghost of a man she loved once come back.
She dumped her husband as soon as the ghost of the man who she loved came to take here away. I would have done the same! She also outsmarted her cunning, loveless husband.
I agree. Another actor who spoke amazing English was the actor Jonathan Harris. You may remember him from the 60s tv show lost in space. The way he spoke was fantastic.
This is my favorite episode ever! How sweet and delicious, rewatching the moment the dark-haired gent entering in smoothly and quietly to retrieve Harrison’s forlorn wife. Harrison was convinced that she’s been unfaithful and the poor Sylvia, so frantically trying to explain herself. This is what husbands wanting to rid themselves of their wives did back then, ship them off to sanitariums. Good for you, Sylvia. 😏
Just saying the very same thing .I'm from the UK and this 'appears'??to be British ..I'm 54 and a bit of a film buff,weird that I haven't heard of it either ?
I also have never seen or heard of this fantastic program. Watched the twilight zone .this is so much better .I'm addicted. This is the similar thing I use to read in a girls mag in the 60s .Linda Bellamy UK
The lady is so elegant and vulnerable, that I've seen this episode several times and she still wrenches at the heart. Perfect casting. Brilliant story.
IMDB says she is Maria Palmer; I thought it was Lilli Palmer (wife of Rex Harrison). It is odd because they look very much alike and have the same last name, but I cannot find if they were related.
Different time different culture. A powerful man wanting to avoid negative publicity about his loveless marriage. These little films are a testimony about the past preserved now.
How true. I have hundreds and hundreds of movies from the 1920s, 1930's 1940's etc. I love them so... I love the 30's especially . Bette Davis, George Brent etc. ;) Time capsules!
@@Anthony-hu3rj yes the roaring twentys like the 60.s 70.s 50 years ago i was in junior high . Ahead of our time real standard's of free thought and LEARNING. Would i want to be that young again . No 40 years younger no .30 years younger no . 20 years younger no . No no no THE TIME IS NOW. 😎😎😎😎😎
My introduction to what I felt was real love was from a gentleman named Jeremy Allen. Maybe it was love in his eyes, or maybe not~ I have no proof of him in letters, pictures, addresses, but he WAS real and he saved me from ever experiencing or accepting physical abuse again in my life. I was barely 23 when I fell for him and am almost 50 now. I owe him a debt of gratitude, and never stopped loving him for the way he treated me.
Years ago I bought a DVD set containing the 1st season out of the $5.00 discount bin at Walmart. I knew nothing about the series but it looked interesting. Turned out it was a phenomenal program on par with the Twilight Zone in my opinion. I just found out that there were three seasons altogether but seasons two and three are yet to be released. If anyone knows differently, let me know.
All I have to say is-- "WOW!" A most excellent episode. I can't believe I've just discovered this series. It was about a decade before my time and this is only my 2nd episode, but I am certainly looking forward to viewing the entire series. Thanks oh, so much for uploading these for us. Can't wait to see them all. 🙂❤😺🙂

Opto tech...cant specify all of them but twilight zone comes to mind when he was young and a monster was on the wing of the plane he was flying on...i know I have seen him on more than a few...google might be of help...i just saw him on a medi care commercial.??? Take care.
@@TheWestlondongent He was in one for Twilight Zone, he saw a creature out on the plane, he tried to warn everyone in the plane. Good episode check it out. Ok I looked it up, it's called Nightmare at 20,000 feet.
The power of the metaphysical can only be experienced by a few,and for those who do they are not to share what they know. The journey is singular and yours alone... Occult knowledge is hidden.. outstanding video.
Amazing that a show that dealt with the unknown would be so gripping. The episode about a clown was most terrifying. To bad they don't have shows like that anymore.
Maria Palmer ( Sylvia) was a beautiful actress and played an unhappy lady. Her husband and maid were very indifferent to her in this episode. Glad Jeremy took her to a better place.
Sylvia was an Aries (birthday was April 4)...idealistic in love....more than capable of fending for herself but waiting for a Knight in Shining Armor to come along....and he did.
The year was 1966. I grew up extremely shy so I never talked to girls. I was 15 when my Mother brought a Ouija Board. My Mother, brother and sister tried to get it to work. Finally my Mother told my sister, "Go get Rick. Strange things happen around him". When I walked into the room, they placed their fingers on the planchette and my Mother said, "Touch this". There was no room so I used my "pinky" and touched it. The planchette went crazy going around and around. When it calmed down, they were able to take turns asking it question. Finally my Mother asked, "Who is Rick going to marry?". The planchette went to "J", then "B". I didn't know anyone with those initials and never gave it a second thought. Any way, 3 years later, in College, a girl asked me out. What was strange, being Japanese, I was only attracted to Japanese girls. The girl that asked me out was White. Her name? Janet Bailey. She became my girlfriend and we married after College.
I was 6 when this show aired, being young some of the shows were a little soap opera like, but I still enjoyed most of them, it's strange that the last time I saw this was back then, 56 years ago. Thank you for memories.
The first thing you have to learn never underestimate the Ouija board if you don't believe me take it to the cemetery in playing at night just be careful what you wish for it's a very powerful board. Thank you for bringing this back to my attention 👍🇺🇸 .
Well that was a plot twist. Didn't see it coming. I was already prepared to comment "wow, great psychiatrist, arrives your home and says you're gonna be happy where you're going, best way to threat a crazy person" and then when she just went with him I knew there was something wrong. Awesome episode.
Love these Series !!! Once again thank you RU-vid!!! When I lived in NYC I used love watching TCM . This particular episode was just incredibly acted. Amazing cast of actors and writing!! Loved every second of it !!! ❤
Is part of his mask and masquerade; my aunt married a man like that. She had a miserable life. Both died. She died first and he followed her not too late. It was hard for him, and old psycho, living without torturing her. If there's a Hell he must be there.
They fought together in the Resistance. He apparently became successful/wealthy over the years of their marriage and felt entitled to cheat on his wife. That's how it was and probably still is among the upper class.
These actors have good training. It's a joy to watch professionals who speak well and have good movement skills using their bodies and faces, rather than merely saying memorized lines
I've played over and that first look from Sylvia to the young supposed doctor. That's a know look. She researched the British soldier and she knew what he looked like. The was a look of peace.
@@one-step-beyond-1959 FOUR YEARS! And I just tonight get a recommendation. SMDH. Never knew you were here. I watched one episode, subscribed, and now I’m in the middle of a binge. This was my mom’s favorite show when I was real young, and I remember watching it with her. Everything, housework, playing, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, came to a stop when this show came on, or there was trouble, lol! The Great Algorithm in the Sky finally did something right! Thank you!
i only have a few episodes of one step beyond except this one & few more to add to my collection of classic movies. i'm glad i get to enjoy Your Videos because of Your Channel. As for the husband in this episode he sure is a mean & selfish & manipulater Gold Digger & there are People like this in real life too what a shame
No spooky music when the jerko husband realized it was not the doctor who came for his wife..... that spooky ONE STEP BEYOND music is integral to the ending. Dang
