Trick work is excellent, the story continually interesting and well acted.

The underground Morlocks are the largest letdown, as scary as kewpie dolls. On the other hand, the passive, blond Eloi, aboveground, are excellently represented by Mimieux, who handles her lines as delicately as if they were flowers. Her portrayal of the limp and fragile Weena must have led directly to her ideal casting, later, in _Light in the Piazza_, as a lovely young thing with a mental age of ten.

Probably my favorite movie of the past. Saw it a lot as a kid. The Morlocs scared me to death. The Eloi were beautiful. A great story, but I would expect nothing less of H.G.Wells. I think Weena was my first crush, ha!

Best incarnation of The Time Machine I've seen. Like to see something more similar to this the next time Hollywood has a go at H.G. Wells.

Much better than the CGI-fest remake starring Guy Pearce. The Time Machine has great effects for its time and isn't overly flashy.

Much closer adaptation than the recent film, and a more sincere performance, to boot.

Is it the nostalgia talking? Or was this really an excellent movie? All I can say for sure is that it's miles better than the remake.

What I found very interesting to see is what deserved you an oscar for best special effects in the year 1960. A visual effects-specialist in those days was actually a builder of very small 'scale-models'. A lava-erruption meant pourring tomato-sauce over that scale model. But actually, placed in his own time, an alright movie. Ofcourse now you will laugh with the fighting scene's and filming locations, but worth the while.
