We particularly like this movie as it features a fantasy that appeals to us; the thought of love traveling through time as if "it will not be stayed". The acting is outstanding. The characters were really brought to life by the superb acting. How many of us wouldn't want to engage in a "love fantasy" that was wholesome and rewarding? One of our favorite films.
I've watched this movie probably about 15 times! It's one you can watch over and over and not get tired of the storyline. Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves along with Christopher Plummer do an outstanding job protraying their characters. The movie starts out with an elderly woman handing Reeves a timepiece and saying "Come back to me". At the time he has no idea who it's from. Later Reeves sees an old fashioned portrait at a turn of the century hotel and desires to go back in time to meet that woman (discovering it in fact was the elderly woman but at a younger time and age). He sets out to meet her in person and learn more about her but her manager (Plummer) doesn't want anyone near her so Reeves needs to get creative in crossing paths with Seymour. From start to finish this movie will keep you cativated!
This is one of the greatest love stories even though there is a bit of dejuvue in it. The music in the background it part of what makes this movie so wonderful.
The actors are great too. I sure do miss Christopher Reeves...I think just knowing he is gone now makes it even more special. He had such a future and it was just taken from him..that is life I guess.
This is a sweet romance. I especially value it because it was set, in part, in a time period I enjoy. Christopher Reeve has always appealed to me and I wanted to share this sensitive romance because Im in a loving romance now.
This is one of the most visually beautiful films. It is a story about a man who falls in love with a woman in a picture at a resort hote. He decides to travel back in time to meet her and falls in love with her. The hotel is on Macinack Island in Michigan. The flowers and the background is stunning. I guess one of the most poignant parts of the movie is that the character is played by Christopher Reeves. I would heartily recommend this as a great movie to watch again and again.
With Christopher Reeves, it's the story of a man in this generation falling madly in love with an actress of the past, who died years before. His yearning for her leads him back in time where he struggles to win her love. He succeeds in that, but forces protecting the actress prevent their marriage, and when he returns to the present, he's very happy he had the chance to meet her and have his affair. You can't help wishing this were possible, and imagining how it worked to actually go back in time to accomplish a goal, but this story is also well written, great lines, well acted and worth while for every romantic in the world. I read the book first, and loved it, and then sought out the movie so that it all came to life for me. There were few changes in the movie, but they did not detract from the story. To me, this is a great classic. Byron Y. Newman
This movie!...Everyone stopping what they are doing and forgetting the strife.
I know, I'm off the wall and all that, however...
If you have a heart and a sense of what a true love story is all about, then go ahead, buy this popular movie by the late and courageous Chris Reeve, and get to understand the magnificent story.
The music background takes you on a nostalgic trip back in time.
Two lovers separated by about sixty years finally catch up with each other. But the romance is short lived as most are, and ends abruptly when a Lincoln cent reveals what year it is.
Should time separate love?
No. When sixty years in time show how much was truly lost, you couldn't fault Christopher Reeve's character for wanting to go back.
Listen to that Theme by Paganini and see if YOU wouldn't want to go back.
Gentlemen, ladies and a little thing called civility were the norm.
Very good movie. Great acting from Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour early in their careers.
A young writer (Christopher Reeve) is mystified by the old portrait of a beautiful stage actress (Jane Seymour) from the turn of the century. He uses his mind through self-hynosis to turn back the years to the misty distant past, and find the woman who has him spellbound. Soon they are in love, and the time difference is only one of the problems to overcome. Scored by composer John Barry (of James Bond fame).
This movie is a romance, yet with the time travel and other aspects there is something for everyone. A nice romantic drama. I would have to say worth watching
This was a truly romantic movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve clearly showed their acting skills even this early in their careers. Although I think this is more of a woman's movie, I believe most romantic men will fall in love with Jane. I bought the movie to learn more about Jane Seymour's acting style, having just personally met her in May 2006. She's a true lady in every sense.
