The Veil (TV-1958) SUMMER HEAT (Ep 7) Boris Karloff

Hailed by critics as the greatest TV series never seen, this never broadcast horror-suspense series is hosted by and stars Boris Karloff!
SUMMER HEAT: A man witnesses a robbery and murder in the apartment across the street from his own. When the police are called, it is discovered that the apartment is empty. Has he seen what he thinks he has seen? Are we dealing with the past, the present or the future? Only those willing to go "Behind The Veil" will know for sure.

Just found this, Karloff, black and white, 1950's, what's not to love.

Hi John 🍕 Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be you 🍕

[@patriciapiper6294]

Hi John, have you ever felt like Boris is able to change his look without really changing his look.? Sometimes I don't quite recognize him!!

[@monnieeeeyt7037]

These old shows are the bomb!! Thanks to whomever are bringing them

[@3D6Space]

Unlike Karloff's Thriller, he has a concluding summary and analysis. It is such a great show, and yet another that I never knew existed. Thanks PizzaFlix!

[@travelinman617]

Can't believe how clear the picture is that long a go amazing

I love that Boris Karloff was in almost each episode too. Why didn't this make it to TV again? I'll have to look it up. I LOVE these old shows, Thank You for giving me the opportunity to see these!

They were on free TV, on those channels that feature old series.

Wikipedia: The Veil is an American horror/supernatural anthology television series hosted by and starring Boris Karloff and produced in 1958 by Hal Roach Studios, very similar to Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond. Production was abandoned after ten episodes had been made, which were never broadcast or shown in syndication in their original format. However the episodes were compiled into three feature-length anthologies which were broadcast in the late 1960s. The original episodes have subseqently been released on DVD.

[@bewareYTcensors]

I think he was in every episode. I watched one where I was amazed how much a younger actor sounded like him until I realized it IS Boris! Make-up artists are very good at their craft.

[@jonhohensee3258]

I think it's lame that Boris is in the episodes. Makes it seem like he is desperate for attention.

Really good one. I would enjoy listening to Boris Karloff reading the phone book.

[@kimberlykasimoff1447]

Mr. Karloff was such a versatile actor.

[@missmaggie2620]

I never realized what a body of work Boris had. I discovered The Veil & Thriller & found his intro's better than Alfred Hitchcocks intro's. They canceled The Veil to make room for Hitchcocks TV show. What a mistake. Then I started checking into Boris & what a nice humble man he was, not to mention his ability to make so many different monsters or creeps. It is also noted that as he looked back at the movie Frankenstein when it was completed he was distraught by the scene where the little girl gave him a flower...& he threw her in the water he hadn't expected how bad it looked once the movie was in the can.

[@oooooo9509]

Thank you for this amazing series. Haven't seen this since I was younger

[@SuperIliad]

There is a striking similarity between The Veil’s “Summer Heat,” Season 1, Episode 8, aired 1958 and One Step Beyond’s “The Open Window,” Season 2, Episode 7, aired Nov 3, 1959. Summer Heat was directed by George Waggner, written by Hendrik Vollaerts and Frank P. Bibas (teleplay). The Open Window was written by Paul David, Merwin Gerard, and Lawrence B. Marcus (executive writer).

[@Ryansghost]

What a great story!

[@artytomparis]

Great script.

[@chestercopperpot9294]

Exactly the same story was on One Step Beyond episode.

[@russellgrenning1317]

Clearly, the opening sequence was inspired by or, more accurately, copied from Hitchcock's Rear Window made four years earlier in 1954 and starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly. But it is still a good story.

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

I think there’s also a similar Barbara Stanwyck movie where she sees George Sanders murder his wife in an apartment across the street from hers.

[@russellgrenning1317]

Yes there is - You are thinking of Witness to Murder also made in 1954. It opened less than a month before Hitchcock's Rear Window which was a hit while Witness to Murder was a comparative flop. Witness to Murder also starred Gary Merrill (1915 - 1990) who also starred in All About Eve (1950) and subsequently married co-star Bette Davis (1908 - 1989).

[@1000vox]

I've seen far too many "coincidental" story elements, plots, and even the technical terms given for the episode's phenomenon at the epilogue not to believe that "One Step Beyond" was actually developed from Hal Roach Studios' "The Veil", which aired in 1958, one year prior to the first episode of "One Step Beyond". "The Veil" was not shown on American TV during it's original run. I'm convinced that Hal Roach sold the idea to Merwin Gerard, who developed it and pitched it ABC. Merwin Gerard wrote several TV shows including "One Step Beyond" ",Nero Wolf" , "Mannix", and "Kate Loves a Mystery", and several TV-movies as well. Before he died in '95, he admitted to Geraldo Riviera that his modus operandi often including buying ideas from other writers, and improving upon them. I'm pretty sure that "The Veil" definitely was his inspiration for, if not the actual source, of "One Step Beyond".

[@qhsperson]

Why not? Shakespeare did it.

This series was in competition with One Step Beyond but came onto the scene when TV was moving away from stories of the UNEXPLAINED. This story nowadays is called a time slip, I know because I have had this happen 2 me.C.

[@ZnenTitan]

It looks like they took two leads from the movie "Squad Car" Vici Raaf (blonde) Paul Bryar (detective) and used them in the supernatural crime thriller show here. BTW the "crook" is Gene Collins better known as Babra from the movie Kelly's Heroes made ten years after this.

That lil guy with the glasses was a great actor but who knows him .

[@haggis655]

Another episode that seems to be repeated in ONE STEP BEYOND. Only there a man had precognition of a woman trying to kill herself with gas. The seer contacts the landlord but there's no one there. Later he sees it again and this time the woman is really trying to kill herself. There's one puzzling detail in this episode: if the apartment was vacant, then he should have been surprised, when he looked outside the window, that it was suddenly occupied. In short, what did he see in that window before the woman actually moved in? It must have been a vacant apartment! And he would have mentioned the difference to the police. That contradiction is not satisfactorily resolved in the story, although it supposedly happened in real life (i.e. a cast history). To elaborate, the man should have said to the police something like, "Normally the apartment is vacant. It was vacant until yesterday. But today when I arrived home it was occupied and I saw" (what he saw). Note at roughly 19:30 the way the British actor, Karloff pronounces "co-op-e-RATE-ive" (the usual American pronunciation would be "co-OP-er-a-tive").

[@silvereagle2061]

+Haggis "One Step Beyond" episode "The Open Window"

[@alfredagain]

+Haggis I also noticed that, re Karloff's prononciation of "co-operative". Is it an English pronounciation, though? I've never noticed anyone English say it like that? I'm wondering if he slightly fluffed the line. Incidentally, I'm from NZ and we pronounce it with just four syllables, leaving out the "e" in the middle completely - "co-OP-ra-tive". Note the accent is on the "op" which you describe as American, but I think it's universal, apart from Boris Karloff! I hadn't noticed your other observation, though. Interesting point

[@qhsperson]

There's also a OSB in which a man witnesses a murder in a country house, and the murder happens a year later when he's not there.

[@manhattangrrl]

Maybe before, he didn't pay attention to the apt.bldg across from him enough to notice whether if any of the units were vacant or not until that day when the pretty blonde caught his attention. Or maybe the curtains were drawn that whole time until the day of the murder.

[@matronista]

I didn’t think about curtains being closed in an empty apartment. Even if there were curtains, I don’t think they would have been shut. A simpler solution would have been the lights weren’t turned on.

Boris Karloff to me sounds much better than William Pratt as for his performing in films , it gave him a more alluring entitlement presence for his acting career , he was born in England just as his parents , his dark complexion comes from his mother's side from her Indian Heritage
