I don't think either version of the movie got the story right. The eloi are supposed to be aloof migits, not a remote caucasian society in sixties mini-skirts. And the book never said anything about the morlocks being mutated blue gorillas...lol
No movie taken from any book is made word for word..... It's interpreted by each director and crew. Also.... everyone reading he same book never sees the same story...
@dfjkslsdfjkl All good movies are inspired by a book or screenplay and there will always be certain poetic licenses that the movie will take from the literature....this movie was so well done, given the technology they had in 1960, to think that 40 years later a remake would be made with all of the special effects that were great, but somehow the remake did not have the heart and soul that this movie had..........you can bet that if H. G. Well saw the movie he'd congratulate George Pal..!!
Actually, she was only 17. She got the part by lying about her age, since it would have been illegal for her to work a full movie schedule under the laws of that time. But I do agree--she was fantastic in the role.

I'm surprised she knew what an old person was, when he said there is a woman in his life, but she's 62 years old and all old and wrinkly.
If you've seen that other sci fi classic Sanctuary, all their citizens died young too, old age was a strange novelty to them.

The Morlocks treating the Eloi like cattle. I consider that the most monstrous and vicous thing to do to human beings.
