▶ "One Step Beyond": The Villa. (Best 5 Episode)

[@axiomist1076]

This is one of the best shows from the golden era of TV. I started watching these episodes when I was 11. There's nothing remotely like this now. It's all garbage on TV.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

I don't disagree. But the question then becomes: Can you have 1950s quality television . . . without 1950s social mentality (?) Tough call to make . . .

[@ellenmurray9196]

One-Step-Beyond Love the 50's mentality, since I was born in '53, gotta love yourself, right? It was gentler time, slower, yes, but more relaxed, trusting.

[@kenmurphy6792]

axiomist It IS true that this series is one of the best as far as acting and direction and the writing is exemplery also but from time to time I find myself left with a profound sense of dissatisfaction! I think it's due to the nature of the endings, which sometime don't really resolve the "mystery." I know....some will say that that's the best feature but there too often are questions and things that don't really make sense. It's probably just and my perpensity to follow things through to their conclusion. Don't mean to sound like i'm complaining. Sorry if I ruffled anyones feathers. Ahhh... NEVER MIND

[@YarpwarSongs]

Ken> I think wht you said is the idea in a nutshell> stories about unexplainable phenomena, the how & why we can't, nor can science, really explain "the mysteries of life" we ponder.

[@robbiereilly]

I think quality is timeless. Shows such as this and Twilight Zone are timeless and their enduring popularity, the fact that millions still watch them, are still affected by them, shows this to be true. I believe if a show like were to be produced today, with the same quality put into it as back then, it would be a huge success.

[@warwickdennis4114]

I agree with all of you people, today’s tv just doesn’t give you what these shows offer a sense of mystery and intrigue

The moral of the story is always take the stairs, when given a choice. Not only is it good exercise, it will never leave you stuck between floors and it never blows a fuse.

I was just the opposite, as a child I was thrilled that there was a show, showing the truth of my life, my dreams that would come true and other things that happened to me that I could not share with others and they could not be explained and other people would have found odd if I tried to tell them about it. This show set me free to know the truth of my childhood. Of course all this stuff faded with time, but, it was amazing to live this life until it faded away.

I've been home sick and binge-watching episodes of this great old show. I fell asleep into a NyQuil coma with this on last night and had some really wacky dreams. Some of the episodes are so eerie. I love psychological thrillers. Episodes like this are truly terrifying when you stop to think about it. Where did the lift take him? So scary, and the John Newland intros are always a treat! Thank you for putting this channel together for us old souls (I'm 40) who have more distinguished taste in films. Nothing on TV these days comes close to comparing to brilliant shows like One Step Beyond and the original Twilight Zone series. I love the nostalgia.

There was a lot of great TV in the 50s and 60s when I was growing up. Lots of shows for kids that taught life lessons in an entertaining way, and great sci-fi, thrillers, westerns, and medical dramas. So much better than today.

[@TheCalico72]

I don't think the lift took him anywhere although that would've been even better. Remember, John Newland said that the husband's whereabouts were unknown UNTIL 6 months later when the realtor went to show the villa again. It must have been a shock to find a corpse/skeleton in the lift. Yes, Mr Newland is the perfect host for this series! He adds such an air of distinguished credibility.

[@Kazyman]

I've read quite a few comments here but the fact is that this show was very well done. The true stories, the casting, direction, even the lighting. A show very well done indeed.

Kenneth cope was in the longest running soap opera in the world " coronation street " in the early 60 s his character was called " Sony Jim " , then he stared in a show called " Randall and hopkirk deceased " he played the ghost hopkirk who only Randall could see , it was about two private detectives , another well loved show so much so that they made a remake in the late 90s , great TV.

That was my thought as soon as it started: it's technically impressive right off the bat. 0:58 to 2:46 is one long take the likes of which I can't think of ever seeing in television before. Most of today's movie directors with tens of millions in budget can't pull it off... or don't bother, too much work to do it right!

Honestly I tried them all but really nothing happened. I'm thinking back maybe it was implied to use drugs along with it. Just wasn't my cup of tea. It was fun though, even around,where I danced. Very colorful time to live, and I loved the music. There were blacklight, even purple bulbs, but only the actual purple neons worked. It was weird, maybe everything strange.

Walking better for muscles than lift and i would hate to be stuck in one for hours

The acting is great. Way Hong these shows is like going to see Summer Stock theatrical performances. There are no ape coal effects, sex scenes or excessive shoot out, just plain good acting. The scenarios don't dawdle either . In 20 to 39 minutes the whole thing is wrapped u , or is it

I was fortunate enough to be around when these pictures first came out. This along with the Outer Limits ,The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock presents. These were REAL ENTERTAINMENT and I can NOW APPRECIATE the talent and creativity the writers must have possessed. Unfortunately NOW the young people have to watch TWO MEN or TWO WOMEN kissing on TV. This is what "TODAY" they call TALENT in WRITTING SCRIPTS. VERY SAD !

Incredibil...până la urmă , ea este cea care l-a omorat... Ha, ha, ha...

Amazing, William S Burroughs and Byron Gysin experimented along the same lines as well of course with the magic mushrooms. :)

@Scott Wurcer: Burroughs . . . tried everything . . . before everyone else.

That was really good. The wife, Mary, was beautiful. I don't know my British actors.

[@vanessadraper4152]

So cool !

Thanks very much for these rare episodes. As for the story, it is scary very scary indeed. mostly because of human errors or stupidities really. This could have been prevented and/or solved in the same day and I thought surely the bellboy or hotel worker or the driver or someone would tell her that he's at the villa but everyone stood there like an idiot and said nothing. the woman especially she didn't even ask for her husband? come on...then the villa doors open for 6 months and the agent didnt bother to put an out of order sign on the lift or shut it off??...man, this (reality) is like a bad cartoon really. I mean the husband was a jerk but didn't deserve to die. lol

[@Jackiezyon]

Matey InUSA Remember he divorced her and had another woman,so she went home. For her she assumed that’s the end of it.As well as he made her doubt her own vision saying she was crazy.

Rather extreme punishment for the husband's trespass.

[@sarahalbers5555]

Nahhh.

[@m.e.d.7997]
