   Review by drmorbius79 ★★★ 5. This film (written and directed by Arch Oboler) is quite bonkers and really lifted my spirits tonight. Character actor Hans Conried, the voice of Disney's Captain Hook, takes on a fascist robot from the future disguised as a walking TV set.

   The robot-like set (the Twonky) uses rays to do helpful things (it lights his cigarettes, creates counterfeit $5 notes, empties the dishwasher, shaves him, vacuums the house), but it also walks around awkwardly, uses the phone and makes unwanted value judgements (like breaking his classical records – because the Twonky wants to listen to marching music).
