Trivia
This is probably the second (available) film that involves a time machine, the first being the little-known Hungarian film Szíriusz (1942). It was released the same year as While Nero Fiddled (1944), another small British comedy about time travel.

Goofs
When the time ball first goes into space we see a clear view of the altimeter, labeled 'Height in ten thousand miles' and numbered from 1 to 10. Under the number 10 is written '1 million' (which the professor quotes) instead of the correct 100,000 miles (10x10,000).

Quotes
Tommy: That's the Professor's timeball, Susie. We can make it fly Back to Methuselah, or forward to the space of Things to Come.

Has some bright moments

It is curious that 2 time travel films appeared within months of each other.This film and Fiddlers Three.I prefer the later.Though it has to be said that Handley transfers better to film than Trinder.However the script in this film is variable.It was to be the last film of Handley and the last pairing of Marriott and Moffat
