I have to confess that when I first saw this movie in the mid 60' I had one of my first crushes on a movie star, Yvette Mimieuix who plays Weena in this classic sci-Fi movie. Yvette was simple looking in this movie, but that is what made her stand out. It just goes to show that you do not need lots of make-up to impress somebody.
Now Rod Taylor, he was the ideal man that we all wanted to grow up to become. He was not afraid to take chances or stand up to others who ridiculed him and his goals, not to mention that he was pretty well set for money. Just watching him act, we all wanted to have his casual self awareness that he could portray.
This movie still stands out as the best film to date, as the remake doesn't even come close to it. The scenery was simple but acceptable for the time that this film was created. I still enjoy watching this movie every year along with the other classics.
As a young Sci-Fi movie enthusiast, this movie allowed me to believe that I was George Wells experiencing everything that he felt, smelled, touched. Why did time fly, and what happened to the world that I was skipping through? You have to watch this film with the eyes of a youngster and their ability to believe without seeing.
