Trivia
When Jordan is on the phone with his Chicago-based editor Krueger, Krueger states that Constance Taylor had been "reigning beauty in the days of the Florodora Girls." This is a reference to the chorus girls of the play "Florodora," a popular musical comedy that opened on Broadway in 1900 and ran for over 550 performances. Much of the show's success was attributed to the beauty of its sextet of chorines, whom the public dubbed "The Florodora Girls."

Quotes
[opening narration]
Narrator: Jordan Herrick, syndicated columnist, whose work appears in more than a hundred newspapers. By nature a cynic, a disbeliever, caught for the moment by a lovely vision. He knows the vision he's seen is no dream; she is Pamela Morris, renowned movie star, whose name is a household word and whose face is known to millions. What Mr. Herrick does not know is that he has also just looked into the face - of the Twilight Zone.

Might be true (?)

Just watched the episode today, Jan 2023 and to my shock, she's still with us! Maybe she really used that beetle! I'm being silly, but she was born 1928 and this episode shows 1964 date. Interesting. Fun episode, but I mourn for the old days. The long takes, delivering lines without a bunch of jump cuts. The days of memorizing lines are hard to find now. The special effects were creative to telling the story. Storytelling is always welcomed and The Twilight Zone delivered. The camera moved with the story and that classic close-up was used correctly. Pacing adds to the suspense. I can't give spoilers, but I think even today's audiences can sit through this one.
