Pretty weird!

While some might think that "The Twilight Zone" was a first of its kind, several other TV shows of the 1950s had weird, fantastical plots like this show. "Points Beyond" is ample proof that "Goodyear Theatre" made a few sci-fi sort of shows!

Julie Adams plays a woman who is suicidal and feels hopeless. After her suicide attempt, a strange man appears in her room...offering her contentment if she goes to a certain address. There, she learns that they are sending people to live on Planet Verna...and they are happy to take her to an all-new life there! Well, before going, she tells her husband (Sterling Hayden) and he agrees to look into it with her...even though he is a skeptical cop. What's next? See the show.

While I was not in love with the twist at the end, it certainly IS one of a kind and interesting. Well worth seeing and very Twilight Zoney!
