One of the odd joys of many TV movies of the era- it has a rather decent collection of "That Guys" and "That Gals", of the sort you tend not to see anymore.

A fun watch just to see the cast at a younger age doing a quick buck movie.

And a not so bad 5.6/10 over at imdb

Is this different than that Twilight Zone episode?
