A Penny for Your Thoughts

Positively superior light comedy entry. Dick York makes his second and final TZ appearance as a bank worker who can suddenly read people's thoughts. From the first scene where Hector B Poole (York) can read the thoughts of people that perfectly match their expressions, it becomes clear this is an interesting story. The complete contradiction of the words and thoughts of a driver who knocks down Poole is amusing too. The crossed dialogue of speech and thought is well handled throughout. Poole's focus turns to an older colleague whose thoughts cause concern. This strange power appears to be both a curse and a blessing. A perfect little scenario for Dick York. Good support performances. Sterling TZ.
