Star Trek:Amok Time

VHS, 51 minutes, PARAMOUNT

Spock becomes irrational when he is possessed by an overwhelming mating urge, and Kirk must fight him to the death on the planet Vulcan. Trek Trivia Celia Lovsky (T'Pau) was a star in her native Hungary but moved to the states so her husband could pursue his career. Her husband; celebrated actor Peter Lorre. To perform the Vulcan salute (introduced in this episode by Leonard Nimoy), Lovsky had to hold her hand in the correct form below camera, then raise it quickly before she lost the position! When Spock is supposed to be "deep in the plak tow," note that Leonard Nimoy is seen standing casually in the background, apparently unaware that his is on camera.
