Featured reviews
I saw this movie in the 50's and thought it was one of the most beautiful love stories. Ann Blyth was one of my favorite actresses and she was, as usual, simply marvelous. Why don't they show it on television or put it out on video. I would love to see it again.
This was one of the best 'love story' movies that I remember when I was a teen. I haven't seen this movie also in about 40 plus years. I hope somewhere that a copy was saved and released as a DVD. I think it was one of Tyrone Powers great love stories and the cast was excellent to match. I have wanted to see this movie so many times and looked in so many places to try and find a way to either see it again or obtain some sort of copy. I'd like to think that before I drop dead I would like to be able to see this movie one last time. I hope again that it hasn't been lost forever. The movie has already been described by others at IMDb. I wish more movies were made like this one and we had more actors like the ones in this movie. I remember seeing it on a black and white TV and being brought to tears after watching it on the Late show in NYC. One thing I remember about this movie was the strong love between Ann Blyth and Tyrone Power and how one could actually die of heart break.
If you haven't seen this movie you are missing Tyrone Power's best performance. It's a beautiful love story, and the ending is memorable. This movie is almost impossible to find in the rental store in the U.S.A, but I think it is available in England. This story is a candidate for a remake by a savvy producer, and I hope, but doubt it will ever be remade. I think the movie should be re-released and placed in the racks of the rental store, so others of the new generation would have the opportunity to see this entertaining flick. I recommend this movie, especially if you want to see a love story the way they were portrayed approximately 40 years ago.
I haven't forgotten this movie even though haven't seen it in
almost 40 years. Tyrone Power plays a man unhappy with his own era in
human time while being almost obsessed with 18th century England.
Somehow, he knows that, due to a lightning bolt or something, he is
going to trade places with a man from the 18th century. And he is
delighted at the prospect of being transported to the era of charm,
grace, and sophistication and exchange wisdoms and witticisms with such
greats as Ben Johnson in a London coffee house. When the time switch
happens, he discovers that the times weren't what they were cracked up
to be. The streets are foul. The coffee shop conversationalists are
pompous and depressingly ignorant of certain fundamentals (to a 20th
century man) of science, geography, and even philosophical essentials
of the dignity of mankind. And instead of himself being received as a
man blessed with advance scientific knowledge, he is perceived to be
both an agent of Satan and insane. Meanwhile, of course, he meets the alter ego of the woman he knew in
the 20th century and a tender, haunting love story envelops the viewer.

I saw this movie years ago and it has stuck with me as one of the best.I have tried for years to see it again but have not been able to find it. If you ever see it you will love it. It is sensitive ,romantic, with a little time travel,reincarnation flavor thrown in. If you liked this movie i would suggest you see, The Two Worlds Of Jenny Logan and Somewhere In Time.

- TriviaLike its better known predecessor, Berkeley Square (1933), this film was tied up in rights entanglements that prevented it from being shown on cable (Fox Movie Channel would be the place to see it), or released commercially on DVD. It was finally released on July 29, 2008, as part of Fox's "Tyrone Power Matinee Idol" DVD collection.
- GoofsAt about 1:05:30 into the DVD (Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection, Disk 5), Peter Standish says to Helen "When I kissed Kate ..." -- but he hasn't yet kissed Kate in the movie. In fact, his relationship with Kate has been rather frosty, except for their opening meeting -- and even then they did not kiss. So he has has nothing to explain to Helen. Perhaps there was originally a scene where Peter and Kate kissed to solidify their engagement, and that scene was cut from the final film. In any case, the absence of any such scene creates an apparent continuity blunder.

Tom Pettigrew: There's one habit of his which will never become the fashion. Every morning two serving maids have to carry buckets of water up flights of stairs for him to wash himself.
Mr. Throstle: He washes himself? All over?
Tom Pettigrew: Every morning!
Mr. Throstle: [incredulous] All over, every morning!
