From the Archives of Vintage Television: Night Gallery - Lindemann's Catch (1972)
| Tonight’s focus is on ‘Lindemann’s Catch,’ the opening segment of Night Gallery’s 16th episode from season 2. Night Gallery is an American anthology series that aired on NBC from 1969 to 1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre, introduced by Twilight Zone’s Rod Serling, who was also a major script contributor. |
| Set in a small, 19th century New England fishing village. One
fogshrouded evening, Captain Hendrick Lindemann (Stuart Whitman), a
cold-hearted and weary fisherman enters the wharfside fisherman’s tavern
and soon gets into a row with Abner Suggs (Harry Townes), scrounging
among the villagers for a bit of spare coin in exchange for a fortune
reading. After slugging the harmless old man, Lindemann return to his
boat and finds his crew huddled around their mysterious catch. Tangled
in their nets, is a living mermaid (lovely Annabelle Garth). |
