Directed by WILLIAM CAMERON MENZIES, novel & screenplay by HG WELLS. TAGLINES : "What will the next hundred years bring to mankind?" "The future is here!" - The story of a century: a decades-long second World War leaves plague and anarchy, then a rational state rebuilds civilization and attempts space travel. A global war begins in 1940. This war drags out over many decades until most of the people still alive (mostly those born after the war started) do not even know who started it or why. Nothing is being manufactured at all any more and society has broken down into primitive localized communities. In 1966 a great plague wipes out most of what people are left but small numbers still survive. One day a strange aircraft lands at one of these communities and its pilot tells of an organization which is rebuilding civilization and slowly moving across the world re-civilizing these groups of survivors. Great reconstruction takes place over the next few decades and society is once again great and strong. The world's population is now living in underground cities. In the year 2035, on the eve of man's first flight to the moon, a popular uprising against progress (which some people claim has caused the wars of the past) gains support and becomes violent. CAST includes Raymond Massey, Edward Chapman, Ralph Richardson, Margaretta Scott, Cedric Hardwicke, Sophie Stewart, Maurice Braddell, Derrick De Marney. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : It was reported that H.G. Wells, the author of the novel on which the movie was based, actually began directing the movie, but his inexperience resulted in Director William Cameron Menzies taking over. Several movie critics in the U.S. criticized H.G. Wells's screen adaptation of his book for its failure to adequately address class struggle. The complaint rang with a tone of irony for Wells, whose book had been criticized by literary critics for containing too much of the author's analysis of class struggle and his socialist-leaning political beliefs. When it was first released in 1936, in Italy, Benito Mussolini reputedly had every print of the film destroyed due to the extreme similarity between himself and Ralph Richardson's portrayal of "The Boss" of Everytown.
