Truly Awful Sci-Fi

 The Yesterday Machine (1963).  Let's see:

1. Confederate soldiers.

2. 1960s college students with a too long opening of a cheerleader performing while her boyfriend tries to repair the fuel pump.

3. Serving girl from ancient Egyptian court.

4., Guy in a tricorner hat who screams "Witchcraft" when the reporter uses a cigarette lighter with the same mechanism as a wheellock firearm.

5. Nazi scientist trying to use his time machine to fix the unfortunate results of 1945.

6. Not well acted.

7. Too much Nazi scientist with bad accent justifying why his friend Hitler was a great man.  The sentiments are plausible for an intellectual of his era, but he speaks far too long.

It makes Plan 9 From Outer Space not so bad by comparison.
