Auction History Result 5d911 TIME MACHINE candid 8x10 key book still '60 set reference photo of the machine in laboratory! Date Sold 2/15/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Set Reference Key Book Still (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. Important Added Info: Note that this great set reference still has a visible clapboard in the image that gives the details about the movie. The studios would use these images for reference if they needed to shoot additional footage at a later time after the set was taken down. This still has "RETURN TO PROPERTY DEPT. METRO GOLDWYN MAYER" stamped on the back. It has three punch holes in the top, and given that it has the notation written above on the back, we think it is surely a key book still. Condition: very good. There is a diagonal crease in the top right and reference numbers in the top and bottom blank border, as well as the three punch holes described above.
