Considering the modest budget that George Pal had to work with, The Time Machine is a pretty impressive film. This film looks good, the sets, photography and special effects have a real charm to them. Most importantly the time machine itself is one cool looking prop.
The film has a small but interesting group of actors. Character actors such as Whit Bissell, Alan Young, Sebastian Cabot and Tom Helmore are fun to see. Rod Taylor is perfectly cast as the scientist who can jump into action when the Morlocks are ready to start chomping on his pretty Eloi girlfriend played by the very pretty Yvette Mimieux.
This was a film that made a big impression on me when I was a kid and it still holds up pretty well. A good cast and story can carry a film a long way and make for a very entertaining viewing experience.
103 minutes.
