Two free-lance photographers are sent to the Mexican border to photograph mysterious lights in the sky that have been reported by airplane pilots. They come across a dead alien. (Flying saucers were big in the Fifties.)
William Bishop and Lynn Bari star as the husband and wife team. Also featured are Charles Evans, Tony Barrett, and Christopher Dark. As always, Truman Bradley is the host and narrator. This episode was directed by Henry S. Kesler from a script by Lou Huston.
Produced by Ivan Tors and Maurice Zim, Science Fiction Theatre was a television anthology series that ran in syndication from April 9, 1955 to April 6, 1957 for a total of 78 episodes. The show tried to take itself seriously with a semi-documentary approach and emphasized science over drama while it explored various topics such as robots,, telepathy, flying saucers, extraterrestials, and time travel. Many of the show's concepts were based on recent articles in Scientific American. Truth to tell, at times this approach made for pretty boring television.
Over its two season, Science Fiction Theatre featured such well-known actors as Basil Rathbone, Victor Jory, Vincent Price, Gene Barry, Edward Glenn, Ruth Hussey, and Howard Duff. Among the actors who played multiple roles in various episodes were Dabs Greer, Whit Bissell, Bruce Bennett,and Dick Foran.
Most of the episodes were original; many were created by Tors. Three of them were adapted from stories by Jack 'Finney, Anna Hunger and R. DeWitt Miller, and Stanley G. Weinbaum. Among the directors used throughout the series were Jack Arnold, Herbert L, Strock, Leslie Goodwins, Paul Guilfoyle, and William Castle.
Give this one a try.
