In 1962, director Blake Edwards and composer Henry Mancini teamed for this tense bank-heist drama, starring Glenn Ford and Lee Remick. Ford plays the good guy, trying to help Remick, who plays a bank employee being forced to steal from her own bank. The mastermind behind the robbery has abducted her younger sister, and threatened to kill her unless the older sister follows instructions. The villain is played by Ross Martin, a few years before he co-starred in The Wild Wild West, and the younger sister is portrayed by Stefanie Powers, a few tears before she starred as The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. – but wait, there’s more. One year after filming Experiment in Terror, Edwards and Mancini would team again, on the first Pink Panther movie.

MINISERIES FINALE: Tonight brings the final installment of Russell T. Davies’ hauntingly memorable futuristic drama (and really: wasn’t the body-strewn beach scene one of the most gripping TV scenes yet of this TV season?). In the drama, the episode begins in the year 2029 – only a decade from now. But given what’s happened to the characters, and in politics, it seems a lot longer. And a lot scarier.

Tonight’s episode focuses on Syd, and provides a potential back story – starting with infancy, as it did when introducing David, her eventual boyfriend, enemy, quarry, and now what? Things have a way of shifting on Legion. How did the narrator introduce last week’s opening-tease synopsis of recent events and clips from the show? Something like “Purportedly on Legion”?
