"History is a race between education and catastrophe." -- H. G. Wells
By driftglass — July 22, 2025

On this day in 1960, the citizens of people of Chicago, Illinois enjoyed an exclusive theatrical screening of one of my all-time favorite classic science fiction flicks. "The Time Machine". Directed by genre master George Pal from a script adapted from the H.G. Wells' novel by David Duncan, the film starred Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, and Alan Young. For your entertainment, todays clip shows time traveler George Wells interacting with the Undecided Voters of Tomorrow!
