Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlan Young (David Filby/James Filby) is the only actor to appear in both this film and the remake, The Time Machine (2002).
- GoofsIn the great hall whenever George is inside, you see parallel and perpendicular white lines painted on the floor. The table arrangements do not conform to any arrangement that fits these lines. This is because the set was constructed over a studio parking lot and they did not put down a floor covering. The revealing parking lines are simply ignored. This info came from a special effects veteran who was on the set during the filming of these scenes.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Project Deephole Affair (1966)
Featured review
It's always the right time for The Time Machine.
One of those Sci-Fi films that's made just right to be watched over and over again and never gets old. The special effects were ahead of their time but the film is not bogged down with them and the actors are allowed to ply their trade. Rod Taylor puts in a solid performance as George the time traveler. George Pal did a great job with this picture. A remake would probably be flashier with the FX but would be hard to beat this classic.
