Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

clanciai This is a delightfully ingenious comedy with Leslie Howard in one of his most spiritual roles, transmuting between 1784 and 1933. The conversation is enjoyably brilliant throughout like in all Leslie Howard's films, and so is the charming music. Frank Lloyd made some of the best films in the 1930s, and this is one of them although rather forgotten today and neglected while its wit transcends practically everything in the 30s. Particularly amusing is the play with confusions, and even Sir Joshua Reynolds is involved in it and is terrified. This is one of those many outstanding old films that are worth restoring and rediscovering indeed.

gkeith_1 Richard wills himself back in time, and spends time with Elise, falling in love with her. He later gets pulled away from her and returns to his future. Even later, they meet in Eternity - - together forever. Peter suddenly arrives back in time, and spends time with Helen, falling in love with her. He goes back to his future. He visits her moldering grave from times past. He wants to be with her in Eternity -- together forever. Richard had the penny to bring him back to the future, and Peter had the Ankh as a similar instrument. Richard had the pocket watch as the time loop instrument, also, that eerily appeared in his future and in his past. When Peter saw his future Ankh in the hands of his 18th Century girlfriend, I thought, "Peter is now going to creepily be pulled back to the future like Richard did in Somewhere In Time." Peter went back, and looked despondent just like Richard did in Somewhere in Time. Early in the Berkeley Square film, I began seeing scenes that totally creeped me out, because I instantly thought of Somewhere in Time and that its author Richard Matheson must have copied a lot from 1933's Berkeley Square. Just add into Somewhere in Time the real-life actress Maude Adams fictionalized as Elise McKenna, and you have a (maybe plagiarized) film and novel (Bid Time Return) that Matheson supposedly dreamed up after he accidentally saw an old photograph of Maude Adams in Piper's Theatre from the Old American West. (Matheson was a quite prolific writer, including Twilight Zone.). Somewhere in Time was not really the true story of Maude Adams, and it seemed to have quite a few of the elements from Berkeley Square. Both Elise and Helen figured that their boyfriends were from the future. Elise in the novel thought so, and even in that film she was interested in time travel. Helen saw the future through Peter's eyes, and a frightening future that it was. I thought that the Berkeley Square future montage of wars, fighting and killing, airplanes, trains, flappers, gangsters, etc., was quite clever, scary and had fantastic special effects. I enjoyed seeing Irene Browne (The Red Shoes) and Beryl Mercer (The Little Minister and The Little Princess) in Berkeley Square. My wish is that Berkeley Square could have been in color. In that comparison, Somewhere in Time wins by a landslide. Other connections and observations: Now, about that other time travel film, The Time Machine. H.G. Wells finds Weena in another dimension, and of course she cannot go back with him, either. In The Blue Bird, Shirley Temple visits her long-deceased grandparents. Finally, not time travel, but the film, The Little Princess (again played by Shirley), has wonderful Beryl Mercer portraying Queen Victoria during the Boer War. 10/10

GeoPierpont Now I know why the chemistry of Leslie Howard worked so well in GWTW. He was most dashing! The attempt to portray time travel and it's fearful interpretations was impressive and laid the groundwork for "Back to the Future" and others as well.I enjoyed the peculiar moments of slip ups in modern, for 1933, language and mannerisms in 1784 London. The actual transitions from one time to another was awkward but having limited expectations this presented no problem from an otherwise exciting plot.My biggest issue was the glimpse of our future with the wars, speed, violence, and loud noise complimented with a grand finale fireworks display. Who would want to be part of that mess? Well, a plot device to prevent anyone switching places, I assume the trap had to be set.God's timeframe seemed to provide little satisfaction unless one passes at 23. However, it was a romantic interlude that is seldom created even in today's films. Interesting to note this may have been the first film mention of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was portrayed in 2008 "The Duchess".High recommend for Howard fans, time travel, British vs Colonials, and eternal love.

Neil Doyle Leslie Howard proves once again that he was the matinée idol women adored long before he was unwillingly cast as Ashley Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," a role he hated to play.He gives a very forceful performance here as a young man who is fascinated by his ancestry and somehow transports himself to an earlier era, with unhappy consequences he couldn't have expected when events turn against him.Heather Angel makes a good impression (she and Howard both starred in the Broadway stage version), but the tale itself is much too talky for the screen and would have benefited from a wider use of outdoor scenes to take away some of the stage-bound feeling. An unusual feature is the almost constant flow of background music in an era when most soundtracks were only punctuated by dialog without musical effects. This affects the quality of the spoken words, of which there are far too many for my taste and, in this case, because it's based on a stage play taken from an unfinished Henry James novel called "A Sense of Time." It takes a willingness to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the fantasy aspects of the story, but it's done in an interesting way and directed in stylish fashion by Frank Lloyd.Summing up: One of Howard's better film performances, he was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar. Remade by Fox in 1951 as a film for Tyrone Power and Ann Blyth called "I'll Never Forget You."
