Wells's speculative meditation on the price of progress, this 1936 English sciencefiction epic shows the painterly touch of director William Cameron Menzies, an American whose career in art direction and production design, as well as uncredited directorial work, attached him to such visual triumphs as IGone with the WindI, Alexander Korda's sumptuous 1940 IThief of BaghdadI, and Menzies's betterknown SF achievement as director, the original IInvaders from MarsI. IThings to ComeI traces a generational saga that begins, presciently, with a global war that outlives its own political purpose, unraveling society to a Balkanized world of isolated communities. In the wake of a subsequent, devastating plague, a new technocracy arises, evolving toward Menzies's striking vision of vast, subterranean cities, rendered in matte paintings building on thencontemporaneous artdeco "streamlined" aesthetics. Driven more by theme than plot, IThings to ComeI lacks the sheer momentum of other Wells classics brought to film (IThe Invisible Mani, iWar of the WorldsI, and iThe Time MachineI, among them) but Menzies's bold look and a strong cast including Raymond Massey, Ralph Richardson, Cedric Hardwicke and a young Ann Todd explain the film's enduring appeal.
