Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"The Outer Limits", like "The Twilight Zone" before it, introduced literate storytelling to a genre that had been looked at as "kiddy fare". Each week, with few exceptions, the landmark show would take viewers on an excursion through alien landscapes or otherworldly encouters; however, humanity's strengths and weaknesses were gloriously portrayed in the well-crafted scripts and brilliant performances of the guest actors.
In "Sixth Finger", David McCallum is a village "doofus" that becomes the pawn of an experiment by scientist Edward Mulhare. The experiment results in McCallum's character becoming an evolutionary freak.
The effects may be dated, but the story is so powerful, as is the fine acting by McCallum, Mulhare, and Jill Haworth (Mrs. McCallum)that one can overlook the then-state-of-the-art technology.
Fans of the genre should note that Janos Prohoska is the "actor" in the monkey suit. He appears in several other episodes of the series as well as the classic "Bewitched" episode "Allergic to Macedonian Dodo Birds".
