In 1972, a college playwright is handed a fine silver watch by an elegant elderly lady who whispers "come back to me." By 1978 he is a success, but alone and experiencing writer's block, so he runs away to a country resort. There he spies the photograph of a gorgeous young woman, and a little research reveals she was a great actress of the early 20th century, and also the old woman who gave him the watch. Through self-hypnosis, he wills himself back to 1912 at the resort hotel, in order to meet this beguiling goddess. Reeve and Seymour are both lovely and act in earnest, but the story is a little languid and weak (screenwriter Richard Matheson is better known for his horror and mystery stories, such as The Incredible Shrinking Man, I Am Legend, and a number of Vincent Price films) and ultimately very depressing. Trivia notes: William H. Macy made his feature film debut here as a critic, and Matheson has a cameo as "Astonished Man," who meets Reeve coming out of a bathroom after shaving (and cutting himself a number of times).
The review of this Movie prepared by David Loftus
Somewhere In Time is one of the most highly underapprecited love storys of our time, with an added Sci/Fi element. Richard Colier (Reeve) must travel back in time to find the woman he has become obsessed in finding (played by Seymour). A truly wonderful film that is as sensitive as it is beautiful. Don't miss it!
