What was found for TIME BARRIER was simply the long-lost (and possibly never publicly screened) Foreign Reel 3A, plus a Music & Effects optical track. Separate from this find, a 35mm fine grain for the film was recently discovered. So not quite as exciting as finding the original negs, but definitely important for preserving the film.

May 23 12 6:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The footage with the nude swimmer was shot one balmy night in Robert Clarke's swimming pool in North Hollywood by the guy who'd worked as the movie's production supervisor in Texas, Lester Guthrie. Kind of prudish about the whole thing, Guthrie wouldn't let Clarke watch the shooting, telling him, "What would your wife think??" The nude swimming gal looked so much like Darlene Tompkins that Darlene, who was also there that night, was shocked. Hollywood Reporter, 5/25/60 - "AIP is concluding a deal with CF Labs to take over distribution of two Miller Consolidated Pictures features, THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN and BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER, together with GET OUT OF TOWN, which was produced independently for MCP release. CFI foreclosed liens on the former pair for lab charges, including 183 prints for MAN and same number for TOWN." Last Edited By: TomWeaver999 May 23 12 9:50 AM. Edited 1 times.

It's the name of MGM's inventory system for film elements.

May 23 12 10:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN is as bad as reviewers say, but I too rather liked BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER, from its Texas location work, to the solid appearance of director Edgar G. Ulmer's daughter, billed as Arianne Arden. I missed both as a kid, so only saw them two years ago. TRANSPARENT MAN at least has Marguerite Chapman, from 1940's CHARLIE CHAN AT THE WAX MUSEUM and 1951's FLIGHT TO MARS.

Yes. Thus my interest in the acronym, above.
