i want to become a time traveller
watch me invent a time machine to go back in time to 1957, get with paul mccartney before the beatles is big and he's my age and then be his cute little girlfriend who sits and watches them practice and claps and supports them unconditionally throughout all of their career, but isn't like yoko ono and they all like me and me and paul stay married forever and i go on tour with him and still love him as a wrinkly old sexy man

Some screenshots from Time Machine - The Journey Back, a charming documentary about the 1960 adaption of H. G. Wells' The Time Machine starring Rod Taylor, who also leads through The Journey Back.
From top to bottom:
Rod Taylor taking a seat in the original time machine, presumably post-restauration. she was in a terrible state when she was found in a thrift store years after she got auctioned off. Hearing Rod Taylor talk about the time machine with such genuine fondness is a delight
an early concept of the time machine itself. Director George Pal didn't like the visual similarity to an electric chair, but loved the idea of a spinning disc in the back. the final design was inspired by winter sleds
Wah Chang, who made the little model of the time machine that gets send into the future at the beginning of the movie. said original model sadly got destroyed in a fire. Chang himself (Wikipedia lists his full name as Wah Ming Chang) is probably most notably known for his work on Star Trek (adorably enough one of the fan duplicates that get showcased in The Journey Back was made by a young man who later would work on Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan). Sitting next to Wah Chang is special effect creator Gene Warren
a never realized outfit from the distant future for the shop-window mannequin
