Brett Slocum commented on "The Time Machine" starring Rod Steiger.

Actually, it starred Rod Taylor, a completely different type of
leading man. Steiger is more of a character actor, quite talented
of course.

I wouldn't write in on such a small item except that it was the
top of my film favorites back in the 60's. Sadly, George Pal,
who directed it died a few years ago.

While Meyer's "Time after Time" was good, there's *no* way I would
put it in a class with "The Time Machine." Well, they are really
two different types of movie aren't they? The first is humorous
and the second tries to be more realistic. Difficult to compare.
