THE TIME MACHINE
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Tonight’s “Out of This World” film voyage on TCM begins with two incomparably influential sci-fi dramas. First is this 1960 classic, adapting the H.G. Wells novel into a marvel of day-glo, futuristic fantasy. Rod Taylor stars as H. George Wells (yes, you read that right), and the most memorable alien he encounters in this galactic class-warfare story is Weena, played by Yvette Mimieux.
