![]() The special effects look primitive by today's standards, but they did win the Academy Award for Special Effects in 1961, and rightfully so, though I have no idea what other films had been nominated. I have since read the book and have found that the movie is quite faithful to the text, though some scenes involving two stops in the 1900s were added and a few bright spots appeared that weren't in the book, which is pretty dark. It was very much the way I remembered it to be. It wasn't until sometime in the 1990s that I was able to see it again when I got a VHS copy. It made such an impression on me that, for quite a while afterward, I would play Time Machine with my sister and cousin with me as the Time Traveler. One movie I saw during those matinees was the 1960 version of The Time Machine. It was a great way to keep us entertained and out of her hair for a few hours, particularly after our baby sister was born. ![]() In the early 1960s my mother used to take my younger sister and me to a nearby one-screen theater to see Saturday kiddie matinees. ![]()
