Somewhere in Time
Someday in the past he will find her...
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc
Produced by Universal Pictures, Rastar Productions
A tender, melancholic romance that uses time travel as a vehicle for exploring obsessive love and the yearning to transcend temporal boundaries.
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 twentieth century. Becoming more and more obsessed with her, by self-hypnosis he manages to travel back in time—where he meets her.
