Long Description:Synopsis quoted from
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081534/synopsis>imdb.com:
"Celebrating the success of his first play, Richard Collier
(Christopher Reeve) is approached by an elderly woman who presses
an antique pocket watch into his hand and whispers, "Come back to
me." A few years later, during a period of writer's block, he sees
a photograph in a hotel museum, and learns that this elderly woman
was once a talented and lovely actress. Drawn mysteriously to the
expression on the woman's face in the photograph, he turns to a
former professor for insights on time travel.
For he must find her, even if he has to go back to 1912 to do
so. Self-hypnosis, and removing reminders of the modern present are
the keys, and Collier eventually awakens the day before Elise
McKenna's (Jane Seymore) August 1912 performance at the Grand
Hotel.
McKenna's manager, William Robinson (Christopher Plummer) is an
obstacle. There are hints that he is clairvoyant, and he fears the
man who will change McKenna's life. His attempts to separate the
couple, however, backfire, causing his protogee to resent him.
Elise and Richard press on, and are eventually able to declare
their love for each other.
A tiny forgotten object from 1980 pulls Richard away from his
beloved, and all his attempts to re-hypnotise himself and return to
1912 fail. His grief overwhelms him, and he dies. On the 'other
side,' the young Elise is waiting to welcome him, and the lovers
are reunited. "
At the site today, there is a stone monument with a plaque with a
