Somewhere in Time: Difference between revisions

A 1980 film adaptation of Richard Matheson's ''Bid Time Return''.

 

 

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.

* [[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.

* [[Her Heart Will Go On]]: Unusual in that the story is seen from the man's perspective.

* [[Love Before First Sight]]

** Since when is Mackinac Island [[Frozen in Time]]? There's a ''Starbucks'' there as of August 2011.

* [[The Seventies]]: 1972 scenes.

* [[Something We Forgot]]: Richard apparently didn't check his pockets.

* [[Stable Time Loop]]: The watch.

* [[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]]

* [[You Already Changed the Past]] adapted, as this is discovered before going back, not after; resulting in [[Deja Vu|VujaDe]].
