“The After Hours” has long been one of my favorite episodes, and every time I see I’m delighted it holds up just as well as the first time. It uses every minute of its running time to advance its story, rather than just restating the problem, and its plotting is wonderfully clever. To that end, what I especially like is how you think it’s going to be one kind of episode– perhaps about some ghouls and/or aliens in a non-existent ninth floor–and it turns out to be something else entirely (the ninth floor and the thimble that serves as a McGuffin are more or less irrelevant to what’s really going on). Not only is it a final, solitary twist, but also the entire story going on behind the scenes is completely different from what we first think it is. Also, Anne Francis is likeable and James Milhollin amusing as ever in their roles, but the real stand-out is Elizabeth Allen, her eyes gleaming: she’s perfect and perfectly eerie as the sales clerk. In its own understated way, this episode really one of the best of the series. I also like how the twist is gradually revealed to us, rather than thrown away in a line or scene.
I totally agree Salzmank this is my beloved sentimental favorite too
and IMPO it gets even better every time I watch it ( BTW - a perfectly put reply here too ! ) .
The very first time I watched it back in the 1980's I was ( and still am ) completely impressed .

Oh well, gna take my 15-minute break. Hope you all are well! Only 6 short months until the Fourth Of July marathon! Hopefully. I have most of them on DVR but it's not the same as watching live.
