An elderly woman presses a pocket watch into a man’s hand, beseeching him to come back to
her, and eventually) he does come back to her. We count this as science fiction rather than
fantasy because of Professor Finney(!)’s attempt at an explanation of
time travel via self-hypnosis, similar to the method in Jack Finney’s
Time and Again (1970). In addition, the film may contain the
first example of a
looping artifact with no beginning and no
end.
Wayne Winsett, owner of Time Warp Comics, tells me that this is his favorite
time travel movie. Wayne is not alone in his assessment of Christopher Reeve and Jane
Seymour, as the film now enjoys a mild cult following.
