Date Sold 9/28/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 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. Condition: good to very good. Card #3 has a small tear at upper center that has been repaired with tape from the back. Card #5 has several pinholes around the edges and there are a few at center. Card #7 has slightly darkened around the edges and it has a few faint smudges. Card #8 has slight discoloration at lower left where there is a small blank corner tear. There is a vertical razor slice at lower left as well and both it and the tear are backed with older masking tape (there are two pieces of that tape on back at upper right that were not put there for any restoration purpose). One or more have tape on the back that was not put there for any restoration purpose, typical of vintage lobby cards. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
