Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of four The Twilight Zone (1959) episodes to include an eye, not a spiral, at the introduction. The other three are Mr. Bevis (1960), A World of His Own (1960), and The Mighty Casey (1960).
- GoofsThe closing narration mentions that Marsha turns human for one month every year. However, only one mannequin turns human every month without repeats and twelve other mannequins are already present when Marsha is welcomed back, so the numbers don't work out.
- Quotes
Narrator: [Closing Narration] Marsha White in her normal and natural state: a wooden lady with a painted face, who, one month out of the year, takes on the characteristics of someone as normal and as flesh and blood as you and I. But it makes you wonder, doesn't it? Just how normal are we? Just who are the people we nod our hellos to as we pass on the street? A rather good question to ask - particularly in The Twilight Zone.

Featured review
Twilight Zone for Dummies!
Rod Serling liked to set things in department stores. They seemed to have their heyday in the fifties before the big shopping malls took over. Places like Macy's and Mashall Fields had a sort of charm to them. He always had a tongue clucking floor manager and a few insipid clerks. Outsiders who came in were often out of their element and are frequently victimized in some way. Here we have the feeling of alienation from an attractive young woman who can't figure out why she can't return an item she bought. One question I have is "How did she get a personal history?" Beyond that this is fraught with strange sounds and mysterious goings on. As she attempts to solve the mystery, the oddest things take place. The conclusion is very satisfying and a lot of fun. This is one of the most memorable episodes, though one with a little imagination might figure it out well ahead of the conclusion.
