Date Sold 7/29/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card had two tape stains in the center of the top border and a tape stain in the bottom left and bottom right corners, with some paper loss in the bottom right corner, extending into the bottom numbers. There were also some creases, smudges, small tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration, but the defects were primarily in the borders. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. The card was starch backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The card displays well, and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card! You can see slight signs of the border restoration. The card was reused in 1972, when the movie was re-released, and it has a 1972 NSS stamp in the lower right (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
