Somewhere In Time (1980 Jeannot Szwarc)

1980 (and 1912). We're back in Mackinac Island again. Richard Matheson's novel 'Bid Time Return' was adapted by himself. It's a mysterious, romantic and silly film, after which it's finished you can't help but say 'Aaahhh' like an idiot.

I wondered how Isidore Mankofsky managed to get that saturated look in the flashbacks - perhaps with a filter? I'm cooking on gas today.

John Barry's score is appropriately lush for lush couple Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves. Didn't really understand Christopher Plummer's behaviour.

Lovely to see Teresa Wright in later, albeit brief, role. Bill Erwin is the eternal bellhop, small roles since 1941. Universal.
