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.'

剧情简要
理查德·科里耶在他的毕业典礼上遇到了一个神秘的老妇人，她停在他的面前，轻声低喃般说：回到我的身边。在交给理查德一块古旧的怀表后，老妇人消失在喧嚣的夜色中，对此，理查德虽然感到奇怪，但他很快便忘记了。八年后，已经成为剧作家的理查德前往麦克金纳岛度假，在他下榻的大饭店的走廊里挂着一副画像，理查德久久的注视着上面那张年轻漂亮的脸，他感到莫名的似曾相识，那一刻有什么撞击了他的心灵。他记起来，在多年前，一个老妇人曾给他的一块怀表中嵌着一张相同的相片。经过调查，原来那是已故的女演员爱丽斯·麦克坎娜的画像，也就是八年前将表交给他的那个老妇人，而且，她就在那晚过世。更深入的调查后，理查德发现，原来自己曾与爱丽斯相恋。
这简直象童话中的故事，自己与一个70年前的年轻女人相恋，但理查德深信不疑，因为有一份感情在所有的遗忘后面坚持着，刺痛了他的心、他的灵魂。废寝忘食的理查德终于找到一位心理医生帮助他，他希望能够凭借催眠回到过去。

无法寻回爱人的理查德将自己锁在房间里，几天后，饭店的保安救出了昏迷的理查德。绝望的爱丽斯等待着漫长的时光流逝，她等待着相逢。爱人死了，但爱情不变。 （来源：音乐快递 辛伯达的航船）
