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>

[cheers from crowd]

Trivia
The gazebo built and used in the film now sits next to Fort Mackinac high on a bluff overlooking Marquette Park, on Mackinac Island. It used to reside on the Governor's Estate, but was moved to its new location in the winter of 2006. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: When Richard kneels down in the hotel lobby to return the ball to the little boy (that in modern time is the bellboy), there are modern day fire sprinkler head covers in the ceiling behind him. See more »Quotes
