Adapted for television by Charles Beaumont from his own short story, the Twilight Zone episode "Elegy" was first telecast February 19, 1960. Making an emergency landing on an Earth-like asteroid, three astronauts -- Webber (Kevin Hagen), Meyers (Jeff Morrow), and Kirby (Don Dubbins) -- are astonished to find that the little orb is fully populated by humans. Thing of it is, all of the humans are "frozen" in place, like wax statues. A seemingly harmless little man named Jeremy Wickwire (Cecil Kellaway), who is actually a robot, provides an explanation. . .and a few additional surprises. Van Cleave's musical score for "Elegy" would pop up in excerpt form in several future episodes.
