Just because Simon Wells'first live action movie made money to attract a few curious people.... does not give it classic status! The original journey made by actor Rod Taylor is still the ultimate film experience aboard H.G. Wells' fantasy vehicle! And Taylor is the quintessential Time Traveler of the novel! Yvette Mimieux is the perfect Weena...and Alan Young, (even though he did appear shortly with flowers again in the new film), portrays loyal friend, Filby to the hilt...right up to the end of George Pal's celluloid treasure! Give me the MGM version any...TIME! |
