Auction History Result 8s103 TIME MACHINE 12 REPRO 8x10 stills 2000s Rod Taylor as H.G. Wells, Yvette Mimieux, classic! Date Sold 9/1/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Set of 12 REPRODUCTION Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, the classic 1960 George Pal science fiction (sci-fi) time-travel romantic adventure thriller ("You will Orbit into the fantastic future!"; "in futuristic Metrocolor"; "It smashes the time barrier... And You take the greatest adventure of your life!"; "Based on the novel by H.G. Wells") starring Rod Taylor (as H.G. Wells), Alan Young (as David Filby, and also his son James Filby), Yvette Mimieux (very young, in her second big screen role as Weena), Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, and Paul Frees (as the voice of the Talking Rings). Note that anyone not familiar with the H.G. Wells novel might think that this movie adapted most of its ideas into the screenplay. But actually, the source novel is an incredibly bleak story about a dystopian future, with no romance of any kind. Screenwriter David Duncan, who had written a few 1950s B-science fiction screenplays before this, did a brilliant job completely changing H.G. Wells' ideas into an entirely different story! His screenplay was merely "inspired by" Wells' story, and he deserves far more credit for the success of this movie than he often receives! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these reproductions are of the "English/U.S." stills created for this movie, not the English front of house set, like the other reproduction sets we are offering (see below). Also note that at some point in the past ten to twenty years, some major English collector had reproductions made of sets of English front of house lobby cards. We have never auctioned any of these before, and we suspect that only a limited amount were made, but we really don't know. From the front, they look very much like original front of house lobby sets, but they are printed on a pure white paper, and when you turn them over, it is very obvious that they are reproductions, because of the white backs. We are auctioning these so that collectors who could never find (or possibly afford) the original sets can purchase these exact reproductions, but obviously, we don't want anyone who buys them from us to try to resell them as originals (but as we say, that is unlikely, because of the pure white backs). We only have one of each set, and we are offering 22 different REPRODUCTION sets, in 22 different auctions. Condition: very good to fine. very good to fine; These REPRODUCTION stills are in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
