This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

At some point, probably the 80s, Sci Fi Channel took out Harry Lubin's beautiful and dark orchestration replacing it with what seemed like a made for TV movie, with computer graphics and a lot of reverb. In my humble opinion, they completely missed the best part of the show. Lubin's haunting music and Newman's dead plan expression are what made the shows authentic and scary.

The Waterford, MI gent pretty much nails it. Oddly, he mentions the one episode I have been itching to see (again) for about 30 years, the one with the glider (?) pilot...the concealed deception...and the glider returns...horrors! That's the episode that led me to recently buy the 50-episode DVD set for short money.I live in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. I wouldn't have seen One Step Beyond were it not for WKBD Ch. 50. The station was part of our basic cable package for several years (and isn't any longer, sadly). God Bless Channel 50. Would never have seen "The Ghoul" w/o TV 50, either or Outer Limits, or all those "Creature Feature" flicks! (I'm 48, feel like 12 here). Those were The Days, IMO...One Step Beyond was on at 11 p.m., and I missed way more episodes than I saw. I bought the "50 of the Best" DVD on E-Bay and have watched about 46 of them so far with my wife, but the episode I want - as I suspected when I received the 4 discs - isn't among them. That's okay. I'll find it eventually, though I'd like to avoid buy all three seasons separately to do it. Got to have them all. I love that show. It more than holds its own against Twilight Zone, yet the comparison truly is apples-oranges.

This Would make a excellent remake, just a remarkable story. The acting is wonderful as well as the direction. I first saw this episode in 1995, and it has haunted me ever since. It has created a fascination with ww1 and I now collect ww1 artifacts. This story could easily be adapted in to a feature film or even a mini serious. It states at the end of the story that it is based on actual events. Its hard to believe that it has never been mentioned since. I am currently working on trying to track down actual historical data about the event. This is a powerful story, please keep in mind the time and,low budget this was filmed in. Wish me luck on my research. Scott

I haven't seen OSB since I first saw it in the mid-late 60s. I remember being really spooked out by it and not wanting to miss it. I also remember the theme music, which alone sent a shiver up my spine. I remember in high school, when learning about jazz (which I'd never really listened to before), getting freaked out by George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" because one of its themes sounded to me to be the theme from OSB.I'm glad to have stumbled upon this thread here in IMDb; I see now that I can likely find some copies of at least some of the shows, and maybe also see if the OSB theme and the "Rhapsody in Blue" theme I mention are really as close as it seemed to me that they were.Finally, in regards to the subject line of this comment: I would appreciate it if you all would please try to remember when posting, that the possessive "its" has NO APOSTROPHE. I especially ask this of those who promote themselves as College or University Professors!
