The story is based on a novel by Richard Matheson. The story entails a romantic and intimate relationship between a young Christopher Reeves, (Richard Collier) and Jane Seymour (Elise McKenna).

The story begins with the opening of Richard Collier's first play during his college years. At the end of the play an aging woman approaches him and gives him an old-fashioned pocket watch and says, "Come back to me," before leaving. The story moves forward eight years at which time Collier is a successful playwright. After he becomes frustrated because he can no longer concentrate on his work, he leaves his office and decides to check into the Grand Hotel. While he is a guest at the Grand Hotel a photo of the beautiful Elise McKenna who had stayed in the hotel in 1912 mesmerizes him. He cannot get the photo out of his mind and tries to find out as much about her as he can. He discovers she is the woman that gave him the watch eight years earlier. He uses hypnosis and convinces himself to travel back in time to 1912 where he meets Elise McKenna, the woman in the picture from the Grand Hotel. Elise's possessive manager, William Robinson, is determined to put an end to their relationship. Her manager is very possessive of her and does not want Richard to be with her. After Elise's manager has a scuffle to deter Richard from seeing Elise, the manager loses the power he had over her. Richard and Elise spend an intimate afternoon together which ends suddenly when Elise tells Richard she is going to buy him a new suit. Richard proceeds to explain to Elise all the advantages of the suite he has, pointing out all the pockets and how handy they are for his coins, at which time he pulls a shiny penny from the future. Since the penny was not of that era, it caused Richard to go back to the future and he loses Elise. Richard tried hypnosis again to try and get back to Elise, but it fails. Richard is heart-broken and spends the next several days in his hotel room alone without any food or sleep. Eventually he dies and in the final scene Richard is shown with Elise grasping hands in the clouds.
This film was very slow moving. It is a romantic story, but the romance drags until the end of the film.
It seemed like it took forever for this film to finally end.
I had a hard time keeping my eyes open while viewing this film.

Review: This movie is, by far, one of the most romantic movies ever made! If you want a good movie to cuddle up with your sweetheart with... this is it!

Deep, honest acting... Reeve is great in this.

This is a movie that my mother introduced to me as a young boy. The love story of all love stories. I'm a guy, and truly fell in love with this movie.

Review: I'd just like to point out how EXCELLENT the documentary and director comments are on this DVD. A huge amount of great information with all the stars from Christopher Reeve in his wheelchair to Jane Seymore to all the cast members, and I do mean ALL of them. Really satisfying, it has completed by SIT experience and I recommend any and all who have not gotten the 20th anniversary version of this DVD to get it. VERY MUCH worth the extra green for ths improed version. Long live Somewhere in Time!

Summary: ¿Richard! Richard!¿
Review: Oh the agonizing screams of Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) as Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) is torn forward to his own time. I'm utterly captivated by this movie. Like Richard Collier, I once saw a photograph of a Civil War soldier that enthralled me as much as Elise McKenna's did him. Unlike Richard, I had no details with which to search for my past love. Somewhere In Time will make your heart leap like it did when you found first love, weep with the sadness of lost love and thrill with the joy of rediscovery!

Summary: Very best love story ever!
Review: I have never before been so touched by a movie! I even used some of the lines from the movie for my wedding vows. This is my husband's favorite movie of all time. He shared it with me the first time we met, at the end of the movie we were both in tears and still are every time we watch it. 'Somewhere in Time' has a very special meaning in the Dueben house.

Summary: The Best Romance of All Time
Review: I am usually one who likes tear jerkers, but this movie was the exception. It is a philosophical romance. Was he dreaming or was it real? Although corny at times, this is one of the best movies for Seymore and Reeves. The music is wonderful,the scenery was magnificant and the costumes and makeup were fabulous. I will treasure this movie for many more years to come.
