William Cameron Menzies

Cast Includes
Raymond Massey, Cedric Hardwicke, Ralph Richardson, Maurice Braddell, Edward Chapman, Ann Todd

Stunning visualization of H.G. Wells's depiction of the future. Massey portrays leader of new world, Richardson despotic wartime ruler. Aloof but always interesting, enhanced by Menzies' sets. Vibrant music by Arthur Bliss; Wells himself wrote the screenplay. Some prints of the original 113 minute version still exist. 1979 movie THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME, though taking the actual title of Wells' book, has nothing in common with this film—and little to do with Wells at all.
