Perhaps because it has an identical ending to "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" I dug this out and watched it last night. Yes, I know, sappy sappy. But it has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and has an intriguing story line. The film makers moved the story locale from the book's Southern California location to Macinaw Island in Michigan where the hotel there serves both time periods (1980 and 1912) well. Special permission to allow for motor vehicles was obtained (they are not allowed on the island). Christopher Reeve (then fresh from "Superman") stars as a successful young playwright smitten by a dead 1912 actress (the beautiful Jane Seymor) who, after traveling back in time to meet her, is thwarted in his romantic pursuit by her Svengali-like manager, Christopher Plummer.
Reeve is a bit too sweet here but this one works for me.
