See the films the platforms disagree about most →A Chicago playwright becomes obsessed with a photograph of a beautiful actress from the early 1900s. Through self-hypnosis, he attempts to will himself back in time to 1912 to meet her. He succeeds and they fall deeply in love, but their romance is threatened by a small, mundane object from his own time that could break the spell and return him to the present.
