What a film of perplexity and paradox is H.G. Wells’ Things to Come! The celebrated author had his name affixed to the title because his contract protected his screenplay from being tampered with, but with such a vivid production crew featuring some of the greatest of the British and American cinema communities, there were bound to be conflicting temperaments at play, and the resulting film, both boundlessly inventive and irritatingly talky, is an absorbing enigma which has fascinated audiences in all the decades since its original failure at the box-office in 1936.
