It sounds like the movie THE TIME TRAVELLERS, although that wasn't made
until 1964. Gary Gerani's FANTASTIC TELEVISION mentions a show involving
time travel that was on in 1955, called CAPTAIN Z-RO. Perhaps that's it.
It was slightly before my time, so I have no memory of it, myself. You
might also be thinking of a particular episode of the anthology series
SCIENCE FICTION THEATER.

this reminds me of something called "Time Tunnel" that I remember from
when I was very young. The description is right but the timing is wrong;
I saw TT in the early sixties. Is this it???

Say, you're making me feel *old*!  I mean because I guess  I  remember
Time  Tunnel  so  well  and  you don't.  Come-on!  Time Tunnel.  Super
secret project under the desert sands.  Tony and Doug  lost  in  time!
Lee Merriweather (sp?) as the pretty lady scientist type.  Time Tunnel
is screwed up (on purpose?) in the first  episode.  Where  ever  >Tony
and  Doug   end  up they can be seen and heard in Time Tunnel control.
They keep getting yanked out of danger in the  last  minute  of   each
episode.

"I don't know  where  they're  going  ...  but  at  least  they'll  be
together..." (Old man scientist type.)
