Auction History Result h218 TIME MACHINE movie title lobby card '60 Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux Date Sold 11/1/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (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. There are many pairs of staple holes around the edges of the card. There is a small area of paper loss in the lower left border (caused by rough staple removal). There are water stains in the bottom left corner just extending into the edge of the tagline. The card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! The above defects are not that important, as they would barely show in a frame. The card would display pretty well framed just as it is (or a talented restorer could surely repair its minor defects without putting much paint anywhere on the image).
