Somewhere in Time
starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour; written by Richard Matheson (based on his novel Bid Time Return); directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
With the thinnest of plots -- a man's journey back through time to find a woman he once loved, in another life, in 1912 -- and the most threadbare characterizations, Somewhere in Time is nevertheless sweetly romantic, a lovely, pleasant but unchallenging diversion. These virtues are almost solely attributable to the two gorgeous stars; when their faces are in closeup (especially for one slow erotic kiss) it doesn't matter so much that the movie makes little sense. Reeve and Seymour's faces make a lot of sense. Reeve, the once and future Superman, is blessed with a handsome, intelligent face and a sense of humor; Seymour is merely exquisite.
Moviegoers could do worse for the $4-to-$5 admission price. They could also do better.
