The best of the "Time Machine" lot, and one of the two best of George Pal's wonderful career. The movie bears the Pal stamp of affection for the characters and their dilemmas, and wonder with the mystery and magic of the world.
Keeping in mind the budget for this film, Pal worked wonders. One can only imagine what he might have done with $100 million. No doubt we'd see the Traveller's journey into the Earth's distant future. But I imagine that H. G. Wells would have loved this film as is, and would agree that Pal's realization of his timeless story captures it's Victorian romanticism, spirit of adventure, progressiveness and caring for the timelessness of the bold and courageous human spirit.
