Listen I was around back then and you don't need an Edsel to push that car off the road. 1) put The stick-thingy in neutral 2) push down on the clutch-thingy pedal 3) position someone behind the car and ask them to blow on it.... Speaking of cars.. Really cool cars in this episode. This is a great episode! Cool channel. Thx.
Why do that when you have a behemoth Mooootorcaaa like an Edsel to do the work for you? Even if she applied the brakes that tractor should have pushed her up the hill! And she was plenty far enough off the road anyway.
“Did John actually see Lila? How can we ever truly know?” Well Boris, the bartender clearly saw her, served her a drink & called “you.” So, I’m thinking we can know. He did see her.
Is that chick driving a Triumph TR3? Schweet! One of my best buds back in the day had a TR6. Well, it was his **Dad's** TR6, to be sure; but he treated it as if it were his as much as he could get away with after he got his driver's license. It was prone to all sorts of quirky problems and "issues," and finding someone both qualified **and** willing to work on it for any amount of money was quite a challenge; but then, much the same could be said for most British cars, especially a vintage one like that. But **goddamnit,** it was sexy, and fun as hell to drive with the top down on a nice, sunny day. For such a small car, the interior seemed quite roomy and accommodating, even for two guys who were six feet tall (and change).
When I was 12 years old we were driving down a country road to church and I saw a friend of mine standing by the side of the road. My parents didn't see him and drove on by. When we got to church we found out my friend had been missing for a few days. His parents followed us back home to see where I saw their son. Again as we drove I saw him but no one else did. Dad stopped the car and I ran up to my friend who didn't respond to me. No one else saw him. My dad looked into the weeds by the side of the road and found a crashed motorcycle. My friend bought one a few days prior. Also in the weeds my dad found the body of my friend. I could see him standing over his body clear as day, the others didn't. I saw his soul, he spoke 3 words, "I'm sorry mom." I gave his final message to his mother.
How come these women never seem to have their handbags with them? I know I wouldn't leave my handbag in the car when it is a convertible? I don't get it.
I just love those old 50s cars, wish I was old enough to have seen them barreling down my streets, however I do remember the 60s muscle cars and 70s land yachts. It's really great to see Boris playing a fiend or any other type, such an awesome actor. BRAVO, great job
There's some reason to believe that "Girl on the Road", produced by Hal Roach, influenced the writing of OSB Season (3) Episode (5), "If You See Sally" . . .

OMG! Is that Jim Garrison????? No, I just looked it up. It's not him, but it sure looks like him. It says he was in a Twilight Zone episode. That's probably where I've seen him before, and he was the skipper at the beginning of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes". I remember him from that.
When he shifted that 58 edsels tell a touch drive transmission in the middle of the steering wheel that should be sent out to every Edsel club in America
Dang. They sure get to a damsel in distress in record time, don't they? Not sure if that's entirely realistic, even back in the day. She'd more likely be locked inside the car, waiting for a tow service. And thumbing the hammer back on a baby glock.
That sure was a different time I wouldn't even open my door to anyone, never mind a man, especially at night - and never mind inviting him in! And getting in a strange man's car...?! Mind you, she was dead so I guess she wasn't afraid😂 I was so annoyed with him when he just dragged her to the bar. What a jerk. Dead or not, she should have called a cab! haha
I thought the same thing. I think the reason was so he would remember her license plate. At the end he goes to see her car at the bottom of that cliff, he recalls her plate from that scene where he pushed her car. That's how he confirms to himself it was her and that car.
She was out of gas. He was going to "push" her car to the nearest service station. That's all it was. Nothing less...nothing more. Maybe listen to the video next time you watch the video!
@@usmale4915 so, him remembering her plate had nothing to do with this movie. Why did he remember it? Oh, that's right, when he knelt down by her car after pushing it. He only remembered her plate at the end because he pushed her that little bit. Without that scene, the ending would have to be different, for him and the audience.
Wowww. Those cars were huuge. American extravagance at its worst. Maybe they should be that big again to store all the insane battery packs. Oh, the irony of it all.
Trouble souls walk the earth and never find rest. I enjoyed this episode. They just don't make good tv anymore. I'm sticking to CZcams. Thanks guys!!
Boris is the man. I love all his series

Thank you for identifying that Edsel, I wanted to know what that was; it's a beauty! As for the Triumph.....meh
@@maxi-me Unfortunately for the Ford Motor Company the Edsel (named after Ford’s daughter) had a poor sales record and was quickly canceled.
I was thinking the same thing about the cars.

Boris Karloff. What a wonderful, gentle man. I corresponded with his daughter, Sara, in the 1990s.
Was she born or made in a lab
@@edmundpower1250 🤣
I like old campy shows like this, I wish there were more of them. SPOOKY/HORROR WITHOUT BLOOD & GORE; JUST MYSTERY.
If only they can ever put out "Great Ghost Tales" 1961 ... my grand father told me that the show was really spooky
I’ll admit I was spooked at the end when he went down to the car! Super good.
that gorgeous little sports car!
Triumph TR-3
@@CSUnger exactly!
@@CSUnger totally-i used to have a 1976 MGB--should have NEVER sold it!

Love these old episodes.
Love them big automobiles !!
I love these movies. I can watch them all day and night.
I have a "Mysteries of the unknown " book that has this story in it.
@@johnbockelie3899 Interesting!
One of the best episodes
Love the Edsel convertible.
“Let me push you out of the way.” Smashes up her car and moves it one foot.
😂😂
I was thinking the exact same thing. Unbelievable
What a BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS LADY…❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is so spooky. I got cold chills.
This was really scary good 😏
Boris Karloff WOW !! The original Frankenstein Monster "It's alive...It's Alive"
He's driving a Ford Edsel. Ford's worst car ever.
It's u7u7yuuu7s
luv how women dressed then -always so glamorous and classy-even when they are looking under the hood! lol
an elegant fashion for a more civilized time
@@valarauka6611 oh my yes
Yes, I am from that era and we had to wear high heels and dresses to work in the office. I loved it!
@@anonymousjohnson976 i agree--i loved having to wear hose and heels in the 70's to work! miss classy ....now they dont care what i wear---stinks!
Yes people in general cared more about their appearance. And those cars! Would love to own any one of them!

The Twilight Zone 16th episode "The Hitch-Hiker" will be very similar too.
Is this the one with Inger Stevens? Truly scary !!!

That's one of my favorite Twilight Zones. So creepy.
Awesome tale!
Large Marge sent me..
Where is her purse?
Right!😮
OMG! Is that Jim Garrison?????
No, I just looked it up. It's not him, but it sure looks like him. It says he was in a Twilight Zone episode. That's probably where I've seen him before, and he was the skipper at the beginning of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes". I remember him from that.
My first car was going to be a Triumph Spitfire but due to medical reasons I needed hand controls & they wouldn't fit in a Triumph.
Boy O Boy.... Every one of those Cars in this scene would be 'priceless' today...❗❗🚗🚘⛽🚦😍💝👍
btw... I was born in 1958.
This show is niffty neato 😜🤗😎
good catch.

I have to say the American's had very nice cars .... With power steering..like a house on wheels...... comment from England
You can keep Boris --- I miss John Newland
Love , John Newland's smile...l would just to watch him smiling .all day and night.. lol
So sad,John has passed away.❤
This is the Vanishing Hitchhiker urban legend.
Good
to a lovely lady

The police officer was a bartender on another episode.
Hal Roach is a big name in cinematic history.
she's so beautiful

Exactly. She was already "out of the way."
I see a bit of BK in Jay Leno.
Come on girls, fess up , how many times did this happen to you..?
They are too scared to tell you.
Getting stuck by a beater car dying out on me, yes.
Getting into a creeper's car to "pick up some gasoline," never.
17:27 He doesn't look any stronger than the bartender. I really don't think he would be choking him down so easily. The guy isn't superman.
Wowww. Those cars were huuge. American extravagance at its worst. Maybe they should be that big again to store all the insane battery packs. Oh, the irony of it all.
Her license plate was LK 333. 333 means 'witch'.
Nobody can take the place of John Newland.
