“The Time Machine” (AKA H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine) is a 1960 science fiction film based on H. G. Wells’s 1895 novel of the same name about a man from Victorian England who travels far into the future. It starred Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux. The film was produced by George Pál, who also filmed a 1953 version of Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Pál always wanted to make a sequel to his 1960 film, but it was not remade until 2002 when Wells’ great-grandson Simon Wells directed a film with the same title.
