One Step Beyond: The Bride Possessed (1959)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Interesting tale of a possible possession
11 May 2021
A pair of newlyweds on way to their honeymoon have their lives turned upside down when the bride suddenly undergoes a dramatic change in personality, claiming to be a woman who fell to her death locally. Her husband and a psychiatric doctor try to unravel the truth behind what she says, and the fate of the deceased woman.

Solid performances from Skip Homeier as the husband, Harry Townes as the doctor, and - especially - Virginia Leith (who handles the contrasting personalities of the new wife and the dead woman superbly), transform what could have been a corny time-filler into a compelling mystery. My only complaint is the ending, which - as others have said - is too sudden. We could have done with another five minutes to wrap things up. Still, this is a series I'm looking forward to seeing more off. 8/10.
