The Man Who Was Never Born with Martin Landau

Earth awaits a terrible fate in the far future, so a 20th Century astronaut and a typically hideously malformed future Earthling go back in time hoping to change history. They target a beautiful young woman just before she gives birth to the scientist who created the bio-warfare agent which ravages the future Earth and all humans. But how can the repulsive Andro succeed when he's likely to be shot on sight ?

This is one of my favorites as well. Poetic, bittersweet, haunting, with a great performances by Martin Landau. I could easily have seen it being expanded into a full-length B&W film back then, as it has the feeling & depth of one, at least to me.

a very sad ending

Oh, heartbreaking! Yet what other ending would have had such a powerful emotional impact? I'm so glad they chose to end that way.
