This show captivated me in my childhood and tingled my spine. A little creepy but captivating. It must be sixty years ago I watched these episodes?

She was great as a nurse at an old mental hospital watch "One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest," an appropriate name for an Oscar winning movie!

[@empressdiva50]

I love this series and the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Thanks.

[@briangrigsby1842]

she actually got prettier as she got older and weighed more always liked her screen presence.

[@jeffashley5512]

I've always loved One Step Beyond. I prefer it over it's more famous contemporary Twilight Zone. I love them both but seeing truth based phenomena is by far more thrilling and captivating. My Opinion. Yuletide Blessings to All. Blessed Be from Tennessee.

First saw OSB sporadically in its first run, because I was only 9, and it was on late at night. Only one episode sticks out in my memory--the missing glider episode. I remember a jump scare of a skeleton when the girl lifts the canopy, which was not in the prints I just watched. Or was it my then childish imagination? I avoided this incredible program, foolishly believing it a waste of celluloid till I started binging on it last week. Now, I am a lifelong "Twilight Zone" fan. Rod Serling is one of my heroes, and he and his program contributed to my world view. However, almost every episode of OSB equals or exceeds the quality of scripts, plot twists and performance in the average TZ. A person could easily confuse an OSB episode with one from one fromTZ. I love the somber tones of Rod Serling, but John Newland is my choice for the best presenters EVER on television. He demonstrates knowledge of the subject, humanity, and many times a sly sense of humour. I also love the way he wanders in and out of the story with points of interest. One final personal note: if anyone grew up in the broadcast area of WOKR Rochester, NY in the 60s they may remember their Saturday night monster movie show, Chiller Theater, which used the haunting female-voiced theme of OSB as its theme. I loved that melody, not knowing its source.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

The T-Zone dramas are mostly little morality plays -- they have a point they're trying to make. OSB episodes don't do that . . .

[@jerryhatley5004]

Yeah, she was a hottie

[@patriciahayes2664]

The window itself was not special. I would say that Anthony March was clairvoyant because he foresaw the woman's attempted suicide. I would also ask if he had had prior premonitions that came true in a similar manner, but of course the story didn't go into that because it wasn't meant to.🤔

[@bethahorner5955]

Was she the blonde or the brunette? Didn't recognize her. Both beautiful women.

[@themav7232]

Name of episode? Thanks.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Yes, one and the same . . .

[@patriciahayes2664]

Yes, as Nurse Ratchet. She won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal.
