The Ugly Little Boy, directed by Barry Morse, presents a unique take on the time travel genre, blending drama and science fiction with an almost somber tone. The story revolves around Edyth Fellows, a nurse thrown into the peculiar responsibility of caring for a Neanderthal child brought to the present through a time travel device. The atmosphere is both haunting and tender, exploring themes of isolation, humanity, and the primal nature of existence. Morse's direction keeps a steady, reflective pacing that allows the audience to absorb the emotional weight of the story. Practical effects, although not groundbreaking, serve the narrative well, while the performances, especially that of the child actor, are striking in their authenticity and depth. It’s a fascinating exploration of what it means to connect across time.
