Line 1: {{work}} [[File:somewhere-in-time-1_4314.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''Someday in the past, he [[Time Travel Tense Trouble\|will]] find her...''}} A 1980 film adaptation of Richard Matheson's ''Bid Time Return''. Even if you have [[Single -Target Sexuality]], you just might give up after finding out that your One True Love lives in a different time period, but that doesn't stop Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve), who, for lack of a better description, manages to [[Mental Time Travel\|psych himself back in time]]. The space-time continuum is just no match for [[The Power of Love]]. 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 22: * [[Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics]]: A post-film example -- the theme was given lyrics in [[The Nineties]] and turned into a song of the same title for Michael Crawford. It appears on the soundtrack to his Las Vegas show ''EFX!'', where it served as a prerecorded prelude due to its fantasy theme, but it's easy to interpret the first-person lyrics as coming from Richard's point of view. * [[Gorgeous Period Dress]]: Elise wears some magnificent examples of late-Edwardian (1910 to 1914) couture. * [[Have We Met Yet?]] * [[Her Heart Will Go On]]: Unusual in that the story is seen from the man's perspective. * [[Love Before First Sight]] Line 31: ** Since when is Mackinac Island [[Frozen in Time]]? There's a ''Starbucks'' there as of August 2011. * [[The Seventies]]: 1972 scenes. * [[Single -Target Sexuality]]: Richard and Elise. * [[Something We Forgot]]: Richard apparently didn't check his pockets. * [[Stable Time Loop]]: The watch. 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?'' [~~http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/~~[Narm \|REEEEEEE-chard!!!]]}} * [[The Windy City]] * [[Your Universe or Mine?]] * [[You Already Changed the Past]] adapted, as this is discovered before going back, not after; resulting in [[Deja Vu\|VujaDe]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1980s]] [[Category:Somewhere Inin Time]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Films Based on Novels]] [[Category:Science Fiction Films]]
