Wednesday treat?
by chuckofish
Last night, in between long talks on the phone I watched part of The Time Machine (1960) starring Rod Taylor. It’s a pretty bad movie, although I enjoyed seeing Rod and a super young Yvette Mimieux. He was just 30 and she a mere 18.
What IS that monster with the animal skin wrap on?
Yvette was pretty, if a little wooden. Here she is not reacting to Rod after he saves her from drowning in a river.
Though Rod gives it his best, even he cannot save The Time Machine.
Doesn’t he seem older than 30?
Still, what I saw of RT made me think it would be nice to see him in another movie. Why not watch The Birds,
or The Glass Bottom Boat with Doris Day?
In any case, I’m up for an early 1960s film that I have not already seen a hundred times. Got any suggestions?

I also watched The Time Machine last night! It was indeed pretty bad, although I enjoyed seeing Alan Young, who you may recall from Mr. Ed. I remember going to see the movie at the Tivoli many years ago with our brother. I thought it was pretty good, back then. Another Rod Taylor movie to try is The Train Robbers with John Wayne from a few years later.
