    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Though Hammer, Foster, Sterig, and Marshak had been planned to be performed by a sole actor using different makeup, the production crew timed the planned scene and noted his time wearing makeup would exceed that of him in front of the camera, so four actors were used.
    • Goofs
      When Arch leaves his hotel room to go to the nightclub as Johnny Foster and walks past the couple on the bench making out, just shortly after he passes them, the camera is angled upwards and the lights and beams of the sound stage ceiling can be seen.
    • Quotes

      Andy Marshak: How do I know you?

      Pop Marshak: How do you know me? A son should know his father. What kind of game are you playing, Andy?

      Andy Marshak: I'm your son?

      Pop Marshak: You were. You were before you ran out. You were before you broke your mother's heart. Before you did dirt to a sweet decent little girl who would've cut off an arm for you. But now you ain't my son. Now you ain't nothin' to me. You're nothin'. I hate your guts. Do you hear me? I hate your guts.

    Chameleon

    Four different players guest star in this unique Twilight Zone episode where a man has the ability to change his facial appearance on a whim if he has a face to concentrate on.

    It occurred to me watching this episode that not only did this individual take on the face, but the whole identity of the person he concentrated on. It was like he invaded the souls of Harry Townes, Ross Martin, Don Gordon and Philip Pine.

    As luck would have it these four are not the best specimens of human kind that this chameleon changed into. The last choice he made was truly a bad one.

    A really offbeat episode from a series that was certainly offbeat.
