Star Wagon, The

The past and present co-exist in Maxwell Anderson?s 1930?s play when a disappointed inventor unleashes his latest gadget - a "star wagon" - that will return its driver to any desired point in time. The time machine gives him a chance to revamp his life. In an especially vivid characterization, a very young Dustin Hoffman portrays the inventor?s muttering stooge. This 1967 film, which preceded "The Graduate," clearly demonstrates the early genius of Dustin Hoffman.
