Nice movie dealing with a Chicago playwright : Chistopher Reeve , when he premieres a play he gets big hit, and , suddenly, an elderly woman whispers him : "Come Back To Me" and gives him an old pocket watch. Some years later, he uses self hypnosis to travel back in time. Then, he meet the actress : Jane Seymour whose vintage portrait hangs in a Grand Hotel where he stays . She is a famous actress from the turn of the century who's really controlled by her manager : Christopher Plummer. Someday in the past, he will find her...From the moment he saw her face, he knew. He would find her again. Somehow... someday... in the past. Beyond fantasy. Beyond obsession. Beyond time itself... he will find her. He sacrificed life in the present... to find love in the past.
A classic film with a touching love story , emotion, fantastic drama and extreme sensibility . It is a moving story of "Amor Fou" with attractive images and fantastic elements. Somewhere in Time (1980) has an enjoyable and interesting script by prestigious Richard Matheson from his novel "Bid Time Return". A compelling period piece in which stands out the terrific performances from the stunning main cast. As Christopher Reeve is fine as the romantic playwright who travels in time to meet his lover and he'll stop at nothing to get her , while a very young and gorgeous Jane Seymour is awesome as a known stage actress who falls for him . Furthermore, Christopher Plummer as the stiff and demanding manager, Bill Erwin, the veteran Teresa Wright and brief appearances from William H. Macy, Don Franklyn and George Wendt.
Highlights of the movie are the great musical score by classic composer John Barry. As well as colorful and brilliant cinematography by cameraman Isidore Mankofsky. The motion picture was competently directed by Jeannot Szwarc. This veteran French filmmaker has directed somes films as Bug, Jaws 2, Enigma, Santa Claus, Supergirl , Hercules and Sherlock, but usually working for TV , making episodes of popular series as Bones , Scandal , Supernatural, Castle , Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, the Protector , Jag, Numbers, Ally McBeal, Fringe, CSI Miami, among others. Rating 7/10. Better than average. Worthwhile watching. The flick will appeal to romantic genre and Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour fans.
