The ultimate fate of a beautiful aviatrix, though to have crashed into the Pacific, is finally revealed. Paula Bennet, the missing pilot who is seen in flashbacks and who is clearly modeled on Amelia Earhart, is played by the lovely, diminutive '40s star Veronica Lake (whose career (and life in general) was in a tailspin in the 1950s due to alcoholism). There is not much to the story, and the resolution, which may have been novel and unexpected in 1952, now seems implausible and contrived. Like a number of 'Tales of Tomorrow' episodes, 'Flight Overdue' is one of the earliest references to 'realistic' manned space flight to hit the small screen - more interesting than entertaining (at least to 'contemporary' audiences). The episode I watched on-line includes embedded jewelry ads starring the British actress Adrienne Corri, perhaps best known for being violently gang-raped by Alex and his droogs in Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971) - "Viddy well little brother, viddy well".
