Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scenes of cities being attacked from the air with conventional and nuclear weapons are lifted from Invasion, U.S.A. (1952).
- GoofsWhen traveling back into the past, we see visuals from WWII, the Civil War, and Indians attacking a wagon train; these events are out of proper sequence. The Indian wars took place after the Civil War and should appear before it when traveling back through time.
- Quotes
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: The past, of course, still exists
Mr. Denning: Oh?
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: Suppose a scientist on a planet some fifty light years from here were observing Earth, he would at this moment be looking at light rays that left this Earth fifty years ago. He might very well be watching the First World War. In effect, some full fifty years' of history would be contained in those beams traveling to that distant planet
Mr. Denning: That's quite an idea!
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: It's more than an idea, Mr Denning, it's fact. And since space-time is a continuum, the present is only a point moving constantly along that continuum
Mr. Denning: When you put it like that, Doctor, even I can understand it
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: Theoretically, with our equipment, we should be able to cut in anywhere along that continuum - actually journey to the center of time.
Now here's the problem: when the matinee was advertised on TV, the ads were for a film called JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME; something about a bunch of kids in a raft who somehow end up in the prehistoric era battling dinosaurs. All of the kids I knew went to see it, and we were alive with excitement. The lights dimmed...and we got JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME, a boring highbrow flick for a much older age group. That's right, the distributor sent the theater the wrong movie!!! I can only imagine the plight of the poor theater manager who had to face all of the irate parents after the show....Anyway, I was one of about twenty kids who actually sat through the movie, and I really wish I hadn't. That so-called "twist" ending...Oh, brother!!!
