2.8 The Time Travelers (1964) ”Danny The Electrcian”

Time Babble

This week we're babbling about The Time Travelers (1964), directed by Ib Melchior and produced by the legendary Samuel Z. Arkoff. The film was released by American International Pictures, who are best known for their low budget ‘B’ movies with high production values.

Our own zero budget babbling this week features futuristic musical instruments, impressive (and not so impressive) magic tricks, Danny the Electrician (YAAAY!) and his lusty antics (could he be one of the greatest screen comedians of all time?), The Cramps (yes, The Cramps!) in space, and a preposterously comprehensive, if lengthy, audit of space sex robots.

Despite what you might assume from our meandering insights, the film is full of fun, with some quite impressive sets and costume designs. Albeit alongside possibly one of the most confusingly bleak endings in cinematic history.

Join us, and Danny the Electrician (YAAAY!), for our latest Babble.
