Auction History Result 8b876 TIME MACHINE 8 LCs '60 H.G. Wells, George Pal, Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, sci-fi classic! Date Sold 10/27/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (11x14; LCs; measures 11" x 14") (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. Condition: good to very good. All of the cards were exposed to moisture at one time and they are lightly rippled down the center and slightly in the rest of the cards, but it is more "felt" than seen. There are two very faint vertical folds down the left and right center of each card, but they hardly show from the front of any of the cards. The title card and the card in the bottom right of our image, as well as one more scene card, have tape on the back of the center of two borders, but it was not put there for a restoration purpose. There are a couple of tape stains on two cards. Learn More about condition grades
