Vault: CLASSIC TV
Performed live every week, with timely themes and interesting guest stars, this innovative 1950s science fiction show was the precursor of later TV hits like THE TWILIGHT ZONE. This episode based on H.G. Wells' short story about a man who discovers a mysterious crystal egg that has the power to view events on another planet. This is an excellent example of early television drama that resembles a filmed stage play. But the story, though somewhat predictable, is compelling and Mitchell's performance makes it stand out.
