Young writer Richard Collier becomes smitten by a photograph of Elise McKenna at the Grand Hotel. Through self-hypnosis, he travels back in time to the year 1912 to find love with the famous stage actress from the early 1900s.
Jeannot Szwarc does well in the director's chair, and Jean-Pierre Dorleac (brother of Francoise) deserves special commendation for his costumes. But Seymour is given too little to do, and Reeve does too much.
I understand why this movie has a respectable cult following. I get the appeal. I only wish the movie would have followed through with its promising premise all the way. I didn't dislike it, but was a little letdown.
The [Grand H]otel and Mackinac [Island] are spectacularly lovely, but fail to give substance to this ephemeral endeavor.
