Plot summary
The film begins in May 1972, when playwright Richard Collier meets an old woman who gives him a pocket watch asking him to come back to her. Eight years later, Richard stays at the Grand Hotel and falls in love with a photograph of a beautiful woman. Richard asks Arthur Biehl, an old man who's been at the hotel since 1910, who the woman is and learns that she is Elise McKenna, a famous actress. Richard then researches who Elise is and learns that she was the old woman who gave him the pocket watch eight years ago.
Richard learns about time travel from an old college professor of his and that it can be achieved if one can go under hypnosis. Richard then tries to travel back in time to the year 1912 under hypnosis with a tape recorder only to fail under stress. After a trip to the hotel's attic, Richard finds an old guest book from 1912 with his signature in it only to learn that he was there.
Richard again goes under hypnosis (this time without the tape recorder, since it was not around in 1912) and succeeds. Upon arriving in 1912, Richard looks all over the hotel for Elise, even meeting Arthur as a little boy, and has no luck finding her. Finally, Richard meets Elise standing by a tree by the lake and she asks him if he's the one. Before he can ask why, Elise's manager, William Fawcett Robinson, tells Richard to leave Ms. McKenna alone. Richard continues to seek Elise out again until finally she agrees to walk with him. Richard finally asks why Elise asked if he was the one and she replies that Robinson knows that she will meet a man that will change her life. Richard also shows Elise the same pocket watch in which she will give him 60 years later.
Somewhere in Time - 2
Upon returning to the hotel, Elise invites Richard to her play. Richard attends the play and upon visiting Elise during intermission finds her getting her picture taken. Upon spotting Richard, Elise smiles and the picture is then taken. This picture is the same one in which Richard will see 68 years later at the Grand Hotel. Later, Richard receives a letter from Robinson who admits to Richard that he knows who he really is. He then has Richard tied up and thrown into the stables. Later, Robinson tells Elise that Richard isn't the one, but she replies that she doesn't believe him and he's wrong. Elise admits to Robinson that she loves Richard and that he will make her very happy. Dispirited, Robinson leaves her dressing room and reminds her that they leave within the hour.
Richard wakes up the next morning and escapes the stables and runs to Elise's room only to discover that her party has left. Richard then goes out to the hotel's deck to find Elise running towards him. They return to his room together and make love. Later that evening, Elise asks Richard if he's going to marry her in which he responds yes. She then tells him that the first thing she will do for him is buy him a new suit (the suit Richard has been wearing the entire time in 1912 is about ten to fifteen years out of style). Richard begins to show Elise what a wonderful suit it is because of its many pockets. He is alarmed when he reaches into one and finds a penny that has the date of 1979 on it. Snapping him out of his hypnotic-induced time travel, Richard fades from 1912 with Elise screaming his name in horror as he drifts back to 1980.
Richard wakes up in his room having returned back to his own time. He tries to hypnotise himself again without success. After wandering around the hotel and staring for hours at Elise's picture, Richard returns to his room where he sits in a daze for days without eating. Arthur checks on Richard in his room and finds him very sick and calls for a doctor. Richard then sees himself drifting above his body and his room and is drawn to a light. In the light is Elise, waiting for him just as he remembered her where they will remain together in Heaven. (Source: Wikipedia)
Memorable Quotes
Elise McKenna: Is it you? Is it?
Elise McKenna: The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? "Forgive me. I have never known this feeling. I have lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognise you? You, who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say. I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you". Such would I say to him if he were really here.
Richard Collier: This is not for a play, Miss Roberts. This is something very personal.
[shows her the pocketwatch]
Laura Roberts: Where did you get that?
Richard Collier: Well, she gave it to me, ma'am. At the opening of a play I wrote eight years ago at Millfield College.
Laura Roberts: That watch was very precious to her. She never- never left it out of her possession. It disappeared the night she died.
Richard Collier: She died that night?
Older Elise: Come back to me.
William Fawcett Robinson: Excess within control.
Richard Collier: I owe you an apology. I understand you now. You have nothing but the best motives in mind for her, but so do I.
Elise McKenna: There is so much to say... I cannot find the words. Except for these: 'I love you.'

劇情簡要
理查德·科裏耶在他的畢業典禮上遇到了一個神秘的老婦人，她停在他的麵前，輕聲低喃般說：回到我的身邊。在交給理查德一塊古舊的懷表後，老婦人消失在喧囂的夜色中，對此，理查德雖然感到奇怪，但他很快便忘記了。八年後，已經成為劇作家的理查德前往麥克金納島度假，在他下榻的大飯店的走廊裏掛著一副畫像，理查德久久的注視著上麵那張年輕漂亮的臉，他感到莫名的似曾相識，那一刻有什麽撞擊了他的心靈。他記起來，在多年前，一個老婦人曾給他的一塊懷表中嵌著一張相同的相片。經過調查，原來那是已故的女演員愛麗斯·麥克坎娜的畫像，也就是八年前將表交給他的那個老婦人，而且，她就在那晚過世。更深入的調查後，理查德發現，原來自己曾與愛麗斯相戀。
這簡直象童話中的故事，自己與一個70年前的年輕女人相戀，但理查德深信不疑，因為有一份感情在所有的遺忘後麵堅持著，刺痛了他的心、他的靈魂。廢寢忘食的理查德終於找到一位心理醫生幫助他，他希望能夠憑借催眠回到過去。
穿戴著70年前的衣物，被催眠的理查德進入了夢鄉，他回到了過去。在那個時光，他找到了愛麗斯，她們熱戀著，每一天、每一分鍾都承載著特別的快樂，他們感到幸福，很幸福。愛麗斯的經紀人卻想盡辦法要分開兩人，因為他害怕墜入愛情的愛麗斯離開演藝道路，那麽他將失去他最賺錢的一刻搖錢樹。最終，由於他的計謀，理查德拿出了一枚屬於七十年後的錢幣，瞬間，他回到了現在。
無法尋回愛人的理查德將自己鎖在房間裏，幾天後，飯店的保安救出了昏迷的理查德。絕望的愛麗斯等待著漫長的時光流逝，她等待著相逢。愛人死了，但愛情不變。 （來源：音樂快遞 辛伯達的航船）
