The Twilight Zone: The Invaders (1961)
Season 2, Episode 15
8/10
Dark setting for a tale with a twist.
11 January 2014
The cast of the 60's comedy series 'Bewitched' were somewhat involved in TZ. Elizabeth Montgomery in 'Two' (series three), Dick York in 'The Purple Testament'(series one) and 'A Penny For Your Thoughts' (series two), David White in 'A World Of Difference' (series one) and 'I Sing The Body Electric' (series three).

Here we are concerned with the much talented character actress Agnes Moorehead. Best remembered for 'Bewitched', the first Orson Welles films 'Citizen Kane' and 'Magnificent Ambersons', and 'Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte'. Also impressive as a rather evil character in 'Dark Passage' with Humphrey Bogart.

'The Invaders' is an odd piece of television in that it concentrates on Agnes Moorehead so alone as a woman living a wretchedly remote and spartan existence. Yet another episode to focus very closely on the fear and anguish of the individual. Virtually nothing is revealed about her as she finds a small flying saucer in her dark dwelling. A story with a twist as you may well expect. A very singular entry, well played by the star, even though she isn't given lines to deliver.
