It was shown on TV in my childhood in mid 1985s - 1990s. It was about the future world where people live in green beautiful gardens in peace, wear all white dresses like angels. Nobody need to read something or learn. I remember some scenes: from our time, somebody travels to that era in time. In a scene, somebody in white dresses was showing him their old libraries. Books were too olds, passed so long time, that when he tried to turn a page and puff out dust on it, the book turned to dust in his hands.
Anyone will remember such film ? I tried to search but come up with no results. Actually it is very hard to find such old movies with description, unless you don't find someone who watched it and remember still.

Thanks a lot

The Time Machine (1960) ?
Starring Rod Taylor, Alan Young, Yvette Mimieux
IMDb synopsis:
On January 5, 1900, a disheveled looking H.G. Wells - George to his friends - arrives late to his own dinner party. He tells his guests of his travels in his time machine, the work about which his friends knew. They were also unbelieving, and skeptical of any practical use if it did indeed work. George knew that his machine was stationary in geographic position, but he did not account for changes in what happens over time to that location. He also learns that the machine is not impervious and he is not immune to those who do not understand him or the machine's purpose. George tells his friends that he did not find the Utopian society he so wished had developed. He mentions specifically a civilization several thousand years into the future which consists of the subterranean Morlocks and the surface dwelling Eloi, who on first glance lead a carefree life. Despite all these issues, love can still bloom over the spread of millennia.
