Open in HeraeAbout the film
Somewhere in Time is a 1980 American romantic fantasy drama film from Universal Pictures, directed by Jeannot Szwarc and starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. It is a film adaptation of the novel Bid Time Return (1975) by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay. Reeve plays Richard Collier, a playwright who becomes obsessed with the photograph of a young woman at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Through self-hypnosis, he transports himself back in time to the year 1912 to find love with actress Elise McKenna (Seymour); Elise's character is based on the actress Maude Adams. He comes into conflict with Elise's manager, William Fawcett Robinson (Plummer), who attempts to deter him, fearing that romance would derail her career. The film is known for its musical score composed by John Barry, featuring pianist Roger Williams.
