Many times when we view Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, we say out loud, "Wow, is that who I think it is? He/she was so young!" Many Hollywood stars were in the early stages of their careers when they appeared on The Twilight Zone, before becoming household names. Before they were Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford), they all appeared on The Twilight Zone. Film Historian Philip Harwood will present and discuss three episodes.
Two (1961): Two survivors of an apocalyptic battle, a man and a woman (Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery) from opposing sides, approach each other suspiciously.
Nothing In The Dark (1962): An elderly woman (Gladys Cooper) tries to banish death from her door. But now she finds herself afraid to let a wounded policeman (Robert Redford) in her door fearing he may be the grim reaper.
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963): Bob Wilson (William Shatner) flying after having a nervous breakdown, becomes convinced that a creature only he sees is damaging the plane he's flying in.
