Somewhere in Time: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

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]].

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.

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]]

* [[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:
