The Time Machine

The Traveller now has a name—H. George Wells (played by Rod Taylor)—and Weena has the beautiful face and talent of Yvette Mimieux. —Michael Main
When I speak of time, I’m speaking of the fourth dimension.
A torch-wielding Rod Taylor pushes Yvette Mimieux back as he holds off a hairy Morlock.

This version (definitely not your grandfather’s time machine) has imaginative settings, but for me, the refactored plot was all dramatic music and no substance. —Michael Main
You built your time machine because of Emma’s death. If she had lived, it would never have existed. So how could you use your machine to go back in time and save her? You are the inescapable result of your tragedy, just as I am the inescapable result of you. You have your answer. Now go.
A giant second-hand sweeps across a blue background with the tagline: zero to eight-hundred-thousand years in 1.2 seconds.
