{{quote| ''Someday in the past, he [[Time Travel Tense Trouble|will]] find her...''}}
 
A 1980 film adaptation of Richard Matheson's ''Bid Time Return''.
Line 9:
Richard arrives in [[The Edwardian Era]] when stage actress Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) was visiting the same vintage hotel he was staying at in [[The Eighties]]. However, her overprotective manager (Christopher Plummer) won't hear of anyone romancing ''his'' star.

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes include: ===
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Richard dies of grief after being separated from Elise and returned to his own time, but is reunited with Elise in heaven.}}
* [[The Constant]]: Arthur.
Line 38:
* [[Time Travel Romance]]
* [[Throw It In]]: In-universe. Elise gets lost in her lines in the [[Show Within a Show|play]], during a scene discussing love; she instead begins daydreaming about finding her (Elise's) real true love. Unfortunately the effect is more awkward and stilted than romantic, at least for anyone who is not Richard. The other actress looks uncomfortable, and Elise's manager is none too thrilled.
* [[Together in Death]]: {{spoiler|Anti-climax: Richard's abrupt separation from Elise upon unfortunate reminder from his own timeline. ''Penny for your thoughts?'' [[Narm (Darth Wiki)|REEEEEEE-chard!!!]]}}
* [[The Windy City]]
* [[Your Universe or Mine?]]
