Someday in the past he will find her...

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 twentieth century. Becoming more and more obsessed with her, by self-hypnosis he manages to travel back in time—where he meets her.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 50.00/100.00

The whole movie is so solemn, so worshipful toward its theme, that it's finally just silly.

Morning 4.00/5.00

三星半。四十年前的经典爱情电影,去制造一种浪漫的氛围,所以也是一种童话般的浪漫电影,往后越来越现实化的爱情电影更多的是讨论两人相处的细节,作用在自身的矛盾上,但从前不是,从前连相遇都不需要那么的精心设计,但最重要的是去写一个表白和确认的场景,这往往是影片的高潮戏,这段戏发生在舞台之上,女主角擅自加戏的表演,真情隽永,望着台下坐着的男主角,在一个大众的、文化的空间里创造出了属于两个人的爱情空间,表达和回应是爱情里很重要的一部分,我朝向你,我才能爱,你是我爱的一个道路和通道。

Dave Kehr · Chicago Reader 10.00/100.00

Director Jeannot Szwarc strains hard for spectacular visual effects, though he's barely able to compose a competent close-up.
