My interpretation of the apathy of the Eloi in the face of danger, is that the Morlocs have been selecting them throughout generations, to be so indifferent to the suffering of others or danger, to turn them into the perfect cattle, without the ability to defend themselves.

Great review Retro Nerd Girl. You missed out Jerry Goldsmith's cameo. He was a film composer. 21:46 He is the one in the cowboy hat on the phone. He did scores for Logan's Run, Planet of the Apes, The Omen, Legend, Alien, Poltergeist, Gremlins and Total Recall.

I love this movie. The Time Machine has always been my all time favourite time travel movie ever since I was a kid. It's amazing that not only is this a science fiction adventure film, there are elements of drama, action romance and horror. Speaking of horror, the Morlocks used to give me nightmares as a kid but I still love the movie non the less. Even to this day, the Morlocks still have that creep factor to them with the way they move and hide in the shadows earlier in the movie, adding a sense of mystery and creepiness to these humanoid monsters.

The device of a "secondhand story" was used by Edgar Rice Burroughs as well. Occasionally his tales had that sort of introduction: "Let me tell you something that happened to a friend of mine. It's so outlandish I scarcely believe it myself." Isaac Asimov used a similar framing for some of his short stories. The secondhand story is like gossip; it's in our nature to draw close and listen.

Yes and yes! This was my favorite movie as a kid, back in the 80s, and it was a big deal whenever I could catch it on TV. When I was a slightly older kid, I was frustrated at how much was changed from the book. But later, watching it as an adult, I realized it's a damn good adaptation. They did what they could to make it marketable as an adventure movie, sure, but the changes to the philosophical meaning of it - shifting the focus from class and inequity to war - preserved the futurist hypothesizing of Wells' original while making it super relevant to a modern audience. And, it fits the spirit of Wells in the bigger picture - that guy who foreshadowed the atom bomb in 1914, remained in London during the blitz, and fourght for "the rights of man" in later life because he knew humanity's future was shaky. Thanks for this review!!

Simultaneously, to capitalize with the movie release, the American publication “Classics Illustrated Junior” put out its version of “The Time Machine” The story is a hybrid of the movie screenplay and the book. The machine is represented differently as well as the Morlocks, to avoid © problems. I read it before seeing the movie.

Great review. I have always loved this film. It has stood the test of time for me. One thing, I am glad you mentioned at the end too, is wondering what would have happened when George went back to the future. Obviously, he was going to hook up with Weena. The anomaly that runs through my mind is whether would things be the same after he went back to that same point where he last saw Weena, or would he have had to go through the same sequence as he did on his first trip to 802,701? In other words, wouldn't the timeline be an alternate timeline? This is the general paradox in most time travel films. It was the same thing with Back To The Future. Although, the trilogy is my favorite of all time, for its entertainment purposes and acting, going to the future from 1985 to 2015 didn't make sense. Like Doc says at the very end of the last film. The future is not written yet. It's what you make of it. So, make it a good one. Then of course there is the butterfly effect issue. Every little interaction that George made on his first journey, in 1917 and 1966, would gradually change the course of history. Oh, and one main thing I almost forgot. All the Eloi were around the same age, of course, because the Morlocks didn't allow them to grow older, but where were all the younger kids and babies?

One of my favorite sci-fi flicks...my folks and I saw it when is was released...I was 17 years of age (not old)...like today...some 64 years later (still very young in spirit!). The human race has not advanced at all...GREED and POWER...still are the demons...as Wells shown in this classic. As a side note...my other top favorites are: Destination moon; When worlds Collide; Day The Earth Stood Still; First Men On The Moon; 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. The 1950s and 60s had some classics. As to the recent remakes...Dud City!

Where Wells would be truly prescient is in his testament to the world : «Mind at the End of its Tether» Written shortly before his death in 1946. After seeing the horrors of ☢️ war & genocide, he left us this completely negative assessment of mankind.

I was 14 when I saw it in 1961, having missed its premiere in my country for cause of bad school report ! So I had to wait for a rerun at a local theater. & since then I went to see it every time it’s shown until the print expired ! Your list is my list too, although I would add the 2 Quatermass with Brian Donlevy. Nevertheless my 2 all-time unconditional favorites are : 1- “It Came From Outer Space”(1953) 2- “Invasion Of The Body-Snatchers”(1956) Without concerting with each other, the 2 movies complement each other in a most hardcore realism : The Former is a plea for understanding others, and against xenophobia. The Latter is a caution against the loss for want of vigilance of what makes us human, that is beings with a soul.

Its the strength of the story rather than the special effects that carry's the film. Btw the film doesnt follow the book very well, for example in the book he doesnt stop in 1917 or 1940 or 1966 but he does go on further into the future after fighting with the Morlocks after he engages the time machine. If you look the time machine it had been dragged much further than the 15 foot that the time traveller dragged it back in his laboratory when he positioned it to go back to the future. Also what happens if you materialise into somewhere in the future or past after stopping which is occupied by a solid form in that space?

My first thoughts when seeing the Morlocks was Cave men. This is such a clever and important film and (to my knowledge), the FIRST Time travel film(& I'm not surprised as it's a and Ray Harryhausen trained under him to as an animator 1960s experimental film) posing so many questions- can we interfere in nature/destiny & should we? is it an individuals right to do this, where is our place in time, how should we live as a human society, etc George Pal is to be applauded, for his vision and originality & not just for this film- look how diverse his catalogue is from- TIME MACHINE, TOM THUMB,BROTHER'S GRIMM,THE POWER, To his last film a super hero campy affair called DOC SAVAGE in 1975 NEVER repeating himself.

I finally watched this. One thing that struck me was how long the main character spent explaining time travel. Was it a less familiar concept to 60's audiences? I'm an 80's kid and knew about time travel for as long as I remember. The earliest time travel story I remember watching was Voyagers! in 1982 or 1983.

Yes and no. This movie is based on a book written in the 1890's, so it's certainly not a new concept by then. Plus the whole _Buck Rodgers_ serial of the 30's is based on a guy who sleeps for 500 years! This all being said, it wasn't exactly a popular trope back then. It was certainly the first time I had experienced the concept, but then I was very young so that's not surprising (the movie's original release was before my time; I saw it the theater in a summer rerun). I do think the explaination of why the model time machine couldn't be seen even though it "passed through" that moment in time was important. Traveling so fast through time, it wasn't really a part of any particular time. This fact later saved his life when he was entombed in rock (he would have died instantly if he wasn't going fast enough). That's why he didn't just stop and go back; he didn't dare slow down until the rock was weathered away.

Another flick I saw as a kid. All the boys in school loved it, fell for Weena and feared a world war six years later.The lack of empathy and ignorance of our past history were prophetic. Rod was 30 and Yvette 18 so why creepy? Bogey was 46 and Bacall 19 , nobody cared. It's an American thing. In San José I was 30 and my girl 25. A friend called me a pervert and asked me what we shared and I said "Ask your mother" Ironically reversing the ages in the movie she would be seen as a liberated woman, and if they were two men a negative comment would be prejudiced Now, the mother hot for her own son in Back to the future is creepy until resolved.

In 1993, a combination sequel-documentary short, Time Machine: The Journey Back, directed by Clyde Lucas, was produced. In the short's final section, written by screenwriter David Duncan, Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell reprise their roles from the original 1960 film. The mini-sequel reunited George (Rod Taylor) with Filby (Alan Young) in a scene set during the first world War just before Filby (now a senior officer in the British Army) is to leave for France. George, knowing that Filby is destined to die on May 15, 1916, in a plane crash on the coast of France, attempts unsuccessfully to convince Filby to join him in time travel to the future instead, and mentions having spent many wonderful years with Weena the Eloi, but Filby refuses to join George in time travel, and then leaves. The scene ends with George alone meditating out loud about the possibility of travelling to the day before Filby's death in order to attempt a rescue again. Lucas first filmed Whit Bissell for the opening, recreating his role as George's friend and colleague Walter Kemp, this time in 1932, reminiscing about his friend, the inventor, whom no one has seen for 32 years. I believe it's on the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the film.

RNG, good to come back home from a rough day to find you back in business. This here is a solid classic. Good on you for noting the resemblance of Morlock to Moloch, although I also note the rhyme with "warlock," and picking up on the three books, which leads to an interesting parlor game: "Which three books would YOU take?" It's true that nobody is really looking out for humanity 800,000 years from now, but frankly I would settle for anyone looking out for us a mere EIGHTY years from now. It might be interesting to compare the George/Weena relationship to the one between Taylor (first name George according to the ending credits -- hmmm!) and Nova in the original Planet of the Apes. (Which, if you've not seen it, you must.) I'm with you on the idea of a sequel, it could be awesome. It's all about threes with me, so I'll tell you three movies which this sort of reminds me of. One is Time After Time, in which H.G. Wells actually does invent a Time Machine but no less than Jack the Ripper escapes in it to 20th Century San Francisco and Wells must hunt him down. (!!!) Another is Somewhere in Time, which visits not so much a Victorian era (as I think something called Kate and Leopold does) but the beginning of 20th Century America. It's a lot of nostalgia and romance as Christopher Reeve travels through time by a kind of self-hypnosis. It's really not my kind of romance, but I greatly respect it. (Another interesting time travel romance is The Time Traveler's Wife.) Finally, I am always pushing a minor but plucky movie called The Time Travelers (1964, directed by Ib Melchior), which I think has it all. Post-apocalyptic wasteland! Mutants! Androids! A starship! And, of course, time travel. I dig its unforgettable ending. All right, RNG, thank you so much, and welcome back, so good be be able to poke my head up out of the backfiles. Excelsior!

This movie makes the Time Traveller a hero; but that is not what he is in the original novella. He is callous, even cruel. His treatment of Weena shows everything wrong about what an Edwardian man's opinion of women was. He could have waited until morning to go to the Sphinx, thereby keeping Weena safe. Instead she dies because his disregard for danger. The novella is a grim story about death and decay; Disney turned it into an adventure story.

This is SO much better than the 2000s remake. The relationship between Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Yvette Mimieux truly make the film. There's no equivalent relationship in the remake. The special effects have aged pretty poorly (but I always accepted it as a Victorian man trying to explain events that he could never truly understand), and the Morlocks look ridiculous these days, but the story still holds up. And the design of the Time Machine was the ultimate time machine for decades, only rivaled by the Doctor's TARDIS and the DeLorean of the Back to the Future films. But not even the rivals can match the class of George Pal's Victorian sled.

Yeah it's Kinda Nerdy, But like you say "NERDS RULE!" The Man in the Film Played By Rod Taylor is The Author of The Book Herbert George Wells. El Oh Heem is the Correct to Pronounce it, But this is your Vid. What 3 Books would You Take Retro Nerd Girl? I would take A Bible, The Chronicles of Narnia, And a Cook Book. Now yes That is Technically More than 3 Books as The Old Testament has a Minimum of 39 Books and The New Testament has 27 Books And 6 Books for The Deuterocanonicals. for a Minimum Total of 72 Book, and The Chronicles of Narnia is a 7 in 1 Volume +1 Cook Book = 80 Books in 3, Darn I'm 7 Off. So it was a Satisfactory Watch for You.

What have you done? Thousands of years of building and rebuilding, creating and recreating so you can let it crumble to dust. A million years of sensitive men dying for their dreams... FOR WHAT? So you can swim and dance and play. You, all of you! I’m going back to my own time! I won’t even bother to tell them the useless struggle, the hopeless future. But at least I can die among men!

I'm not a fan of Time Travel either. And not b/c it's confusing. Star Trek series love time altering shows that I found confusing. But some "time" shows did work.

Another great review, but one thing: in the pronunciation of the last name of the actress Yvette Mimieux, the 'x' is silent.

I saw a interview a few years ago that actor Rod Taylor asked George Pal any chance for any sequel too bad Pal couldn’t secure this when asking MGM. Rather having the sequel then that 2002 remake which was plain awful even with the great grandson of H G Welles. If they ever did another remake it should be a actress next time around playing the time traveler. Enjoy your KZbin videos would like to see your spin of the Omega Man if not done already

Have you ever watched the original star trek from 1960s? There a lot of episodes in 3 seasons. 16 minute average videos. Could get subscribers to add to your top knoch channel. 😊
