The series has brought up many subjects, some quite profound. Others are fillers. But all are worth the purchase of this series.
In this season three of “The Twilight Zone,” one teleplay worth pointing out is “The Midnight Sun” (1961) S3.E10. This stars a great but seldom-seen actress, Lois Nettleton, as Norma.
The Earth was knocked out of orbit and is spiraling closer to the sun. As the globe warms up, systems are beginning to fail, and many people have already left for the few cooler climates. Left in the city are the people who decide there is no place to run and will finish their days at home. In one city apartment building, Norma (Lois Nettleton) and her neighbor, Mrs. Bronson (Betty Garde), wait for the inevitable with what water is left. Wait, it gets more complex as the radio announces unscrupulous people roaming the city. Yes, they encounter an intruder (Tom Reese). Needless to say, he is not so polite.
Naturally, the teleplay is all about the interaction of the characters. We must place you in the situation and speculate how it will all end.
