World Without End (1955)
Hugh Marlowe and his crew returning from a Mars mission end up caught in a time warp and catapulted to an earth in the 26th century. An earth devastated by the effects of nuclear war with the planets surface inhabited only by mutated creatures and mutant cave dwellers with the civilised humans forced to adapt to living in the subterranean underground. Something they do very well, even getting acclaimed pin-up artist Vargas to design their colourful costumes for them.
A fast paced film which is largely enjoyable but the longer it goes on the more it feels like a rehash of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, just not as good.
