The Sixth Column is one of those intriguing TV movies from the early '70s, directed by George McCowan. It dives into a war between two alien races, and it's fascinating how they choose to disguise themselves as humans. The atmosphere is quite tense, with a nice mix of suspense and sci-fi elements. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but it builds up an interesting tension. What’s really unique are those special glasses they use to spot each other—it's a neat practical effect that adds a layer of cleverness. Performances vary, but they bring out the paranoia of the characters effectively, making you question who’s who. It’s definitely a curiosity from its era.
