The Time Machine (1960 George Pal)

We'd both seen this as kids, of course. It doesn't hold up very well. The acting is poor - Pal, I sense, was more into the effects, which don't always make sense. It's kind of enjoyably cheesy. 

Rod Taylor, Alan Young, Yvette Mimieux, Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore (Vertigo), Whit Bissell.

Photographed by Paul Vogel. MGM.

Best bit - Morlock time lapse dissolving into pile of bones. Studio / sets / matte all look very fake.
