The Road to Yesterday
by Jeanie MacPherson, Beulah Marie Dix, and Howard Hawks, directed by Cecille B. DeMille
Bickering newlyweds Kenneth and Malena Paulton are thrown back to previous lives in Elizabethan England where they are a knight and a gypsy. The film is
loosely based on the earlier play of the same name by Dix and
Sutherland.
Safety note: Do not attempt this movie’s method of creating a timeslip—via a fiery train crash—at home.

I know I love you, Ken! But today—during the marriage service—something seemed to
reach out of the Past that made me—afraid!
