Intended as the first installment of an anthology series that never developed, Welles used still photographs, blackouts, and voice-over narration, among other techniques, to create a totally new approach to TV drama.

The acting is subpar and the story's not that original, but the presentation totally overshadows those shortcomings. A very fun little film and it certainly would have been interesting to see Welles do more of this.

Not a short film at all, but a pilot for a television show that was apparently never picked up. It's like a REALLY campy "Twilight Zone" episode. Even though he's "just" the narrator, Welles, is, as to be expected, completely and effortlessly the star. Followed closely by the visuals.
