Storyline
Young writer Richard Collier is met on the opening night of his first play by an old lady who begs him to "Come back to me". Mystified, he tries to find out about her, and learns that she is a famous stage actress from the early 1900s, Elise McKenna. Becoming more and more obsessed with her, he manages, by self hypnosis, to travel back in time where he meets her. They fall in love, a matching that is not appreciated by her manager. Can their love outlast the immense problems caused by their "time" difference? And can Richard remain in a time that is not his? Written by Rhino <rhino@blueyonder.co.uk>

Trivia
Movie was based on author's dream about meeting renowned stage actress Maude Adams. He never met her in real life, only saw her portrait in Piper's Opera House and fantasized what it would be like to go back in time and meet her; hence the character Richard has the same first name as the author.

Anachronisms: The song "You Made Me Love You" was first published in 1913, however when Richard first awakens in 1912 and finds himself in a stranger's room, the occupant of the room can be heard singing this song. See more »Quotes
