An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Polish Movie Poster (measures approximately 23" x 33") (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: Marian Stachurski Important Added Info: This Polish poster measures approximately 23" x 33". Condition: very good. The poster had a 14" slightly semi-circular tear in the left of the black face (starting 2" above it in the black background below the "M" of "Metro" and going down through the left side of the face passing by the edge of the left eye, and ending at the left edge of the top of the mouth; only the solid black of the face is affected. The poster was folded across the middle and there were some creases along that fold. Other than the above, the poster was in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see slight signs of the tear described above. Learn More about condition grades
