One Step Beyond (TV-1959) DARK ROOM S1E4 CLORIS LEACHMAN

Mind-bending series hosted by John Newland, your guide to the unknown! Based on true, supernatural events that defy scientific explanation, this show appeals to fans of The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
THE DARK ROOM: A woman photographer on assignment in the south of France is almost strangled by one of her subjects.

[@willfade7994]

Cloris Leachman was a legend! We just lost her in January of this year (2021). Of all her works, this may be the first time I’ve seen this great episode! Let’s never forget her role in Young Frankenstein as Frau Blucher! The world has lost one of the best actresses of all time. RIP Cloris. You won’t be forgotten! 🌹

[@slimdudeDJC]

She had a couple of stints on both the original series and the 80's remake of the Twilight Zone, The latter was actually a reprisal role in the original series ep., "It's A Good Life." She also starred in her own t.v. series, I believe, called "Faye."(early to mid 70's, I think) I grew to be a bit of a fanatic of hers. Very nice!!!

[@slimdudeDJC]

EDIT: That series Ms Leachman starred in was called "Phyllis", rather than "Faye."

I concur. Cloris was quite talented; real, smart, she made a connection with the audience.

[@isabellind1292]

Cloris Leachman was a naturally talented & beautiful actress. I loved her in "Young Frankenstein" and "Prancer" and in the "Mary Tyler Moore Show". She also won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Bogdanovich's "The Last Picture Show". RIP Ms. Leachman.🌹❤🌺

[@aintnobodyherebutuschicken1418]

@49jubilee I absolutely agree! Sit down meals with the family gave daily support and encouraged healthy eatng and a good relationship with food. Teens only went out to the drive-in for cheeseburgers and fries as a treat on a date - never everyday! And people got more exercise!

I prayed to God to let our mom remain with us. She was in critical condition. My prayer was heard. She was saved. She expired at the age of 89 a few weeks ago. THE TIME AND DATE OF HER DEMISE?

I can't believe I am watching this episode of "One Step Beyond". When this show was airing in the 50's and 60's it began by saying "Alcoa Presents" One Step Beyond. My parents wouldn't let me watch scary shows because they thought I'd have nightmares, however, our house had a long row of windows that separated the TV room from the master bedroom. I snuck into my parents bedroom and watched it by looking through those windows...this episode scared me so badly. The look on the face of this ghost man was so terrifying to me that I never forgot it. Imagine scrolling through these shows and finding the very one that scared me so badly. Of course, as I watched it this time I still thought it was scary but not nearly as horrifying as I thought it was back then. Thank you for airing these old TV shows. It's amazing how they take you back in time.
