Production
The production of the film is quite similar to episodes of The Twilight Zone though it predated that popular television series. It was made by Warner Bros. under the auspices of the Department of Defense "Directorate of Armed Forces Information and Education" (commonly referred to as training films) under the direct supervision of Jack L. Warner.
Webb described the 'nightmare' part of the film as the dramatization of a variety of stories told by refugees from Eastern Europe who fled the Soviet takeover of that region following World War II.
The cast of the film is a "Who's Who" of Warner Brothers Television of the time. The "everyman" hero is Jack Kelly, then the co-lead of Maverick, and other cast members starred or guest starred in Warner Brothers Television shows that proliferated on the ABC network.
