Blew my chance to meet Ib Melchoir and Steve...


A couple years ago here in Los Angeles, there was a showing of "The Time Travellers" at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood attended by the director and Steve Franken, one of the actors. I had very little moola at the time so passed on it.
I regret it because my money situation never did improve, so I'd have been no farther behind if i'd gone! This film was intensely creative, although as a kid I never understood the ending.(so, they got back to their own time, right? or not?)
That rocket on the launch pad was very nice and the telescreen effect was really boss, to use a 1963 expression.
The director was involved with my favorite Outer Limits episode, and is widely credited with the original idea for the TV series Lost in Space--another favorite of my kid side. Just to stand there and thank him personally for making my childhood more wonderful...that would be a nice 40-year thank you, but delivered while the principles of the film are still alive. There may never be another chance to see Melchoir, who knows?

.......you can buy TIME TRAVELERS on DVD from RETROFLICKS.COM

.......and you must be talking about the "PREMONITION" episode of OUTER LIMITS...........also my favorite episode!!!! Melchior inspired "The Time Tunnel" and never got credit for it.

I think Delores Wells is the only one left from this movie.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock!
