Dies und das:

Movie was based on author's dream about meeting renowned stage actress Maude Adams. He never met her in real life, only saw her portrait in Piper's Opera House and fantasized what it would be like to go back in time and meet her; hence the character Richard has the same first name as the author.

Pannen:

Anachronismus: When Richard initially goes backstage to look for Elise during the afternoon rehearsal, he passes a hanging bare light bulb. It is a frosted light bulb of modern design (since the '40s) - not the hand-blown clear glass bulb that was in use in 1912.

Dialogzitate:

William Fawcett Robinson: Excess within control.

A perfect 10

Let me say this briefly. This is a perfect movie. There's enough romance to make it satisfying but not too much to make it baudy. This movie touches the heart and makes the soul surrender. Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve are amazing. Enough said. I don't want to give it away.
