An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, the classic 1960 George Pal science fiction (sci-fi) time-travel romantic adventure thriller ("You will Orbit into the fantastic future!"; "in futuristic Metrocolor"; "It smashes the time barrier... And You take the greatest adventure of your life!"; "Based on the novel by H.G. Wells") starring Rod Taylor (as H.G. Wells), Alan Young (as David Filby, and also his son James Filby), Yvette Mimieux (very young, in her second big screen role as Weena), Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, Whit Bissell, and Paul Frees (as the voice of the Talking Rings). Note that anyone not familiar with the H.G. Wells novel might think that this movie adapted most of its ideas into the screenplay. But actually, the source novel is an incredibly bleak story about a dystopian future, with no romance of any kind. Screenwriter David Duncan, who had written a few 1950s B-science fiction screenplays before this, did a brilliant job completely changing H.G. Wells' ideas into an entirely different story! His screenplay was merely "inspired by" Wells' story, and he deserves far more credit for the success of this movie than he often receives! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded, but it had faded considerably (all the reds are much lighter). It had creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, with a 15" tear in the lower right border, extending into Taylor's left leg and down into the background beneath it. Someone had written play dates and prices in the top area above and below the yellow line, and "ALL SEATS 50c" was written with a circle like a word balloon coming out of the Morlock's mouth. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can still see signs of the many border defects, and you can still lightly read the "word balloon" by the Morlock's mouth. Please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
