Can anyone put a title to this Christopher REEVE film????

[auditt]

Hi,

There is a Christopher REEVE film, that I hope someone could tell the title to..I first saw this film in the late 70's.. Then again between 1985-1990..No later than 1990, as I was still living at home, that is how I am sure on the dates....Here goes..

Christopher plays a writer/journalist??He finds or is given an old coin..With this coin he finds out by accident that he can travel back in time to the date on the coin, where he meets and falls in love with young lady...For some reason he comes back to present time, but realises that he cannot live without this lady, and goes back in time to be with her again..Everything is ticking along nicely, when he pulls out a handful of loose change, and in amongst the change is a present day coin, which he didn't know he had..He is suddenly brought back into the present day, and must to his distress he cannot get back in time to the lady..He tries and tries, he ends up staying in his flat until his landlord finds him, but it is too late he dies of a broken heart, in the closeing scenes of the film, he is shown reunited in heaven with the lady, who didn't know what had happened to him, she grew old and passed away back in her own time.

Can someone please put a title to this film, so I can try and find a copy of it..It has stuck in my head for all these years.

Thanks in advance.........Regards...audiTT.xxx.

Also available from DVD.co.uk for �6.99.

Just noticed you can buy the DVD from DVD.co.uk via Amazon for �6.42. Why it is cheaper that way I do not understand.

The woman actually passed away in his time - she went to see him at the beginning of the film and told him to 'come back' but he didn't even know who she was.

The coin doesn't make him travel back in time, it's just one of many things that he has to use so that he's hypnotising himself to the correct time period (the new coin he found wasn't from that time period and therefore he realised that what he was experiencing wasn't true and was thrust back to the future).

Have a look at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081534/

Incidently, I was told that the island it was filmed on doesn't have any cars normally - they had to be shipped in purely for the film!

Somewhere in Time (1980)

Good film that! Based on a book " Bid Time Return" by Richard Matheson. Only difference, in the book Chris Reeves character had a brain tumour ( Irreversable) hence retreating to the countryside.

yeh it is somewhere in time - my dad's got an old copy off it on VHS - the woman he meets in the present day with the coin is an old woman who says to him come back to me and gives him the coin after his play - he was an actor and he then goes back in time and meets her younger self - I'd forgotten all about this - wonder if he still has it

She doesn't give a coin, she gives a watch.  Years later he discovers a picture of her when she was young and then finds out she was the woman who had given him the watch years earlier.  See the link on my earlier post.
