The Time Machine / Beyond the Time Barrier

Double Feature: 50th Anniversary!

THE TIME MACHINE, 1960, Warner Bros., 103 min. Dir. George Pal. The classic adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel, this sci-fi gem follows Rod Taylor as he rockets through space-time to discover a humanity that has divided into two violently warring sects. Winner of Best Special Effects at the 1960 Oscars.

BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER, 1960, MGM/UA, 75 min. Dir. Edgar G. Ulmer. High-testosterone pilot Robert Clarke pushes his jet past 5,000 mph -- and finds himself catapulted into a crumbling, plague-ridden Utopia of Tomorrow. Shot at a futuristic exhibit at the Texas State Fairgrounds (along with THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN), TIME BARRIER co-stars Ulmer’s daughter, Arianne Ulmer, as the villainous Markova. "The mutants were basically rubber bathing caps on these poor people’s heads!" - Arianne Ulmer.
