My VERY-FAVORITE episode!!!
“Call a SPADE, a SPADE; and a TRANNY, a TRANNY, or an IT!!!”.
"THAT'S SOME BAD
SHIT
,
HARRY
!".

Too funny

Maybe she was the cause of the heat wave, all by herself.
We live as we dream - alone.

One of the all-time Classic TZs. And yes, Lois Nettleton was Scorching Hot in the episode!

This was the first episode of the series I felt was straight up sci-fi. The retrograde orbit concept was so different from previous episodes.

It was indeed a moment that packs a punch. He comes to his senses and reflects on what has happened to him. They then realize he's not a monster.
"Get the cheese to sickbay."

Going through such an extreme situation can make a normally decent civilized person not so I guess, like the man that broke into the apartment and drank their water. He then tried to explaine that that wasn't who he really was, that he was usually a good guy. Under the circumstances, I'm sure a lot of viewers may have believed him.

And in life, often the good folks endure some of the most difficult hardships. But I think just the situation itself, how hopeless and inescapable it is, is presented so heartbreakingly and realistically Midnight Sun packs a wallop.
"Get the cheese to sickbay."

The episodes that make the show so good are the ones where you can really feel for the characters. I really felt for Lois Nettleton and her neighbor because they really seemed like good people just going through something so extreme. I can't imagine 24 hours of sun and the temperature being 120 and only getting hotter.

This kind of episode and twist is TZ at its very best. Why I'm such a big fan is for reasons like Midnight Sun.

THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILER
I believe that most films or programs that contain the "it was all a dream" ending is usaully a copout, even if the plot is done exceptionally well, it can take the story from fantastic to just pretty good. Now in Midnight sun, aside from the fact that the story was great, we did almost get the episode taken down a notch with the "all a dream" ending, but after she woke up and realized it was a dream, we then got hit with such a great twist that was not seen coming, and that made the finished product of this episode fantastic.

This was the first Twilight Zone I ever saw. I was instantly hooked. Not because of her but the story and plot. Now that being said, I also found her attractive and thought about how riske that had to be back in that era. This episode will always be special, for multiple reasons.

Actually- its her version of Hell. Good news- She gets to be married to
Paul Newman!
Bad News he won't have sex with you.

Never say never

while begging her husband for sex

. . .and she picked up an Oscar for Butterfield 8

Yes, she spent time in Butterfield 8 in a slip. Of course, she was a call girl.

Never say never

Kind of like the way that Elizabeth Taylor wore a slip for the entire first half of Cat on Hot Tin Roof.
Didn't another character of Elizabeth Taylor's
also in a movie scene walk around smoking a cigarette
at a hotel room while in her undergarment slip
from the 1960 film " BUtterfield 8 "
or was it just this film you mentioned above here Jennie_Portrait ?

I saw Lois Nettleton in a revival of Streetcar Named Desire and she wore some revealing stuff.

Kind of a racey outfit for television in the early 60's.
But yeah, she was a babe for sure. And I'm a heterosexual woman. Haha
Midnight Sun is in my top 3.

Yeah she is HOT.
Not in the conventional sense that is pathetic people have in the first place.
I want to jump through the screen and pull her out. (Being only 30 it's been awhile)

Yes. I can see that, Jennie, though I find Miss Nettleton more appealing and sexier than Joanne Woodward, but that's me. Nettleton looks terrific in
The Midnight Sun
, which in turn reminds me of how much things have changed where women's fashions and looks are concerned. I prefer the more natural, individualistic days before six pack abs and jogging addiction. A woman was a woman back in the day, and Lois Nettleton: now that's a woman!

She was lovely. She reminded me a lot of Joanne Woodward.

Never say never

Little known fact: Lois Nettleton had a very prominent role in an episode of Seinfeld. Guess what character she played and no Googling!
Please tell us here antonasmodeus
which episode of Seinfeld
was this lovely lady in
( I haven't watched every episode of Seinfeld here
) ?
Thanks for the trivia here too antonasmodeus
