Character actors Claude Akins and Jack Weston are the most prominent names in
the Twilight Zone Story about someone spotting a flying saucer overhead which
gets all the neighbors out of their houses on Maple Street USA.
Then all kinds of strange things start happening. Power going on and off and all kinds of finger pointing is started. Could one of these neighbors not be what they seem?
Claude Akins for once not a cruel and psychotic villain tries to be the voice of reason. Counterbalancing Akins is Jack Weston who starts throwing suspicion in every direction.
The story fresh from the paranoid McCarthy 50s is a warning about not rushing to judgment and giving way to panic. We could use a little of that today, wisdom from Rod Serling in a timeless classic.
Almost like Vladimir Putin watched this show.
