Curiosidades

Timeslip is a 1955 British black-and-white science fiction film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Gene Nelson and Faith Domergue. Produced by Alec C. Snowden, it was written by Charles Eric Maine.

Production

The script for the film was a substantial reworking by Charles Eric Maine of his BBC TV play Time Slip, which was transmitted live on 25 November 1953, and not recorded. In the original play, Jack Mallory (Jack Rodney) dies and is brought back to life with an adrenaline injection, but this results in his perception of time being 4.7 seconds ahead of everybody else's, so he is able to answer their questions before they are even asked.

The film was partially funded by its UK distributor Anglo-Amalgamated. It was a production of Todon Productions, the American company, although they are not credited. Star Gene Nelson had been in two musicals, So This Is Paris and Oklahoma!, and this was his first serious dramatic lead. He was reportedly cast after Tony Owen of Todon saw Nelson on an episode of Studio One.

Filming started in England on 4 February 1955. It was shot at Merton Park Studios. Original titles include The Way Out.
