Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlan Young (David Filby/James Filby) is the only actor to appear in both this film and the remake, The Time Machine (2002).
- GoofsIn the great hall whenever George is inside, you see parallel and perpendicular white lines painted on the floor. The table arrangements do not conform to any arrangement that fits these lines. This is because the set was constructed over a studio parking lot and they did not put down a floor covering. The revealing parking lines are simply ignored. This info came from a special effects veteran who was on the set during the filming of these scenes.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Project Deephole Affair (1966)
Featured review
Classic; Keeper; One of the Best Ever Made
Why don't they write screenplays like this anymore? This one is for all practical purposes perfect. There is not a move missed, or a button not pushed. Things seem to have moved slower back then - to me it immediately brings to mind the feeling when watching Goldfinger after seeing one of the Pierce Brosnan shoot 'em ups blow 'em ups - but where's the fire? The print we watched was impeccable - and it wasn't even DvD. I can't wait to see the wide screen digital version. Those Victorian machines... This is a definite keeper. Wells manages to put quite a lot of his own spirit into this story, and it transfers well to celluloid. Ok, why import two Americans to do a British story? But Taylor is good, even if Cabot seems superfluous to me - no offense Sebastian, but I wouldn't have insisted on you in this one. As far as Mimieux goes there can be no such reservations: she's 'dee-lish' (was only 18 at the time) and fills her role perfectly. A very moving story. Rumour has it that there is a DvD version with 2 DvDs in the case, the second devoted to the original screenplay and other things. I haven't found it yet, but I would recommend any aficionados to try to locate it. The screenplay itself would be worth the price of admission.
