- Tales of Tomorrow is an American anthology science fiction series that was performed and broadcast live on ABC from 1951 to 1953.
Sneak Attack was the 13th episode of the first season. A foreign power has covertly landed twenty-five super bombs in cities throughout the United States and are prepared to detonate them if the President refuses to surrender the nation. America's only hope is a secret agent currently recovering for gunshot wounds inside the foreign power's borders.
I lived in Colorado back in the 70s. It was believed to be the safest place in the nation, being in the middle of the continent. All the major military bases are there, including NORAD. 🌹 Thank you for this rare episode. 🌹
Wow, this show is interesting and I think it's also very significant today...
Very well thought out ...ahead of its time .....thanks for posting it ....
Ah yes. The old 'phone-in-the-shoe' trick, Mr. Smart.
More like t"The old morse-code-generator-in-the-shoe-trick"...
@@QuantumRift Missed it by that much...
expensive watch bands...10.95 in 1951 is about 108.00.. today in 2018
Good stuff, in my humble opinon.
Brilliant dialogue:
"What were you looking for?"
"Whatever it is you're hiding."
Then later, the woman doktor comes in to find whatever it is he is hiding.
DOKTORORROROROROR
They would not have left that nice watch on his arm , which, by the way, has a Kreisler band on it!
I suddenly have a taste for Pall-Mall
my mother smoked 3-4 packs a day of Pall Mall's. was not overly happy with the ending. most of the acting was pretty wooden.
You and Don Draper!
This is 9/11!
Airplanes used as bombs,
nuclear war,
the president gives a speech & mentions "Pearl Harbor," 14:40
ambassador Chertoff (Michael Chertoff author of Patriot Act)
Yeah, poor man's missiles (planes used as missiles) to mislead people, using Muslim patsies, with the Mossad/CIA pulling the strings.
A real powerful organization (not "Al quaeda"!) would have done the same as in this episode. Plant nuclear devices all over the USA and demand that the US leadership stops its wars of terror on the outside world, Muslim world mostly.
It would have been a poweful argument to make the US comply.
But, once the US has agreed to withdraw its forces from invaded countries, set off the bombs anyway to avoid future US agressions.
It would create such an internal chaos, that the US would be unable to wage outside wars for a long time, may be for ever.
This scenario is quite possible, but not probable.
It's Ace that people noticed the Parallels with 9/11...and now a word from our sponsors/BANG!!!

$10.00 for a watch band? Well, in 1951 a $10. dollar bill had about the same buying power as a $98.52. today. 2019. and the year before in 1950 $10 same buying power = to $106.28 in today's 2019 money.. $7.76 difference with in a year. I say WOW!! 68 years ago.
Those are very scary numbers. The $50 candy bar must be right around the corner...
Rod serling recommends this show
But dose he recommend Krisler watch bands?
I love the publicity! Regards
Where could I find a Kreisler watch band? My non-existent watch, well it doesn't matter... I need one....
kohl's
Their still in business actually, so are Masland Carpets 150yrs and counting!
@@anjetgrinding ROTFLMAO!!! Near the kiddie pride clothes display?
This series, it seems, gave free advertising time to some products just by failing to mask over branding on some props. Case in point: the pack of Pall Mall cigarettes. In another episode, it appeared as if the actors were guzzling down some Schlitz beer.
+B Keller And your point is?
+MrUhwoody ABC could've made more money by collecting more money for advertising top brands of alcohol and tobacco products, and then have more to invest in better programs and wider visibility in smaller markets... for better ratings!!!
+B Keller It's called a "product placement ad."
Schlitz beer is one of the main reasons many of these shows happened. Of course as a fan of back and watch movies an TV show, I would have liked to see more episodes at better quality :) They sure are clever, these writers...
@@MrUhwoody Capitalism!
fun to watch
Love the show...but... at the end Big Brass says it's past the time when there's really 10 seconds to go. "It's past." ...."No. Ten seconds to go"... {Kaboom}
9/11 and DRONES?
that was nothing but mcarthy era BS! thanks for the upload.
What's wrong with mccarthy era bs? You gotta have something big going on to have a whole era named for you!
A watch band for Christmas? Kind of a weak idea.
It was a nice gift back then.
But it's Kreisler! It's Kreisler! Makes your watch look better than new, quality, style and value too!
1960! Denver destroyed! 2018, Denver ok.
Bob Denver, not so much...
1951..that wasn't "give em hell harry" Truman in this..
Wow. I've watched a bunch of these and this is the first one that legitimately sucked. Cliff-hanger bogus ending and no real "future" element other than "oh, this is happening in the future by a few years". P.U.
Cold War propaganda
