February 7, 2011 Somewhere In Time – Scenes Montage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Somewhere in Time is a 1980 time travel romance film directed by Jeannot Szwarc, written by Richard Matheson and starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, Teresa Wright and including an early appearance by then-unknown William H. Macy. The movie was filmed on location at the Grand Hotel, and the former Mackinac College – both located on Mackinac Island, Michigan. It was also filmed in Chicago. Although this movie was well received during its previews, it was widely derided by critics upon release and unsuccessful at the box office. It has earned a large and loyal following since its release to cable television and video, and the movie is now regarded by many to be a cult classic. Reeve plays Richard Collier, a playwright who becomes smitten by a photograph of a young woman at the Grand Hotel. Through self-hypnosis, he travels back in time to the year 1912 to find love with actress Elise McKenna (portrayed by Seymour). But her manager William Fawcett Robinson (portrayed by Plummer) fears that romance will derail her career and resolves to stop him. The film is adapted from the 1975 novel Bid Time Return by science fiction writer Richard Matheson, which was subsequently re-released under the film’s title. The film is known for its musical score, composed by John Barry. The eighteenth variation of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini also runs throughout the film.

Always loved the movie and Barry’s score only makes it that much better. The 18th Variation only adds to the enjoyment. Thanks for posting!
