Description: Young writer Richard Collier is met on the opening night of his first play by an old lady who begs him to "Come back to me". Mystified, he tries to find out about her, and learns that she is a famous stage actress from the early 1900s, Elise McKenna. Becoming more and more obsessed with her, he manages, by self hypnosis, to travel back in time where he meets her. They fall in love, a matching that is not appreciated by her manager. Can their love outlast the immense problems caused by their "time" difference? And can Richard remain in a time that is not his? Written by Rhino (imdb) ... (more)

But also, that he possesses the super-human ability to self-hypnotize himself through time, and thus capture a heart of a love that exists somewhere else in time. Or maybe the superpower is on the ravishing Jane Seymour's end. A classical actress whose luminous beauty is enough not only to stop time but to travel through it, too. Hey, sounds like the"

100 Straight From The Heart: My Fave Romance Flix (100 movies items)

" The actor who started his career in the 70's by playing a superhero starts the 80's by playing a different kind of superhero. In the first Superman movie, Christopher Reeve portrayed a mild-mannered reporter who wrote copy by day, but who flew through the concrete canyons of Metropolis as the world-famous man of Steel.  In this movie, Somewhere in Time, Reeves stars as a playwriter who comes to learn that writing plays is not his only gift. But also, that he possesses the super-human ability"
