They find each other and discover a once-in-a-lifetime love, although their life paths from that moment are very different. Richard undertakes a dangerous journey to find her, overcoming many obstacles along the way. It's here in 1912 that chaperoned actress Elise McKenna is performing in a play. The setting is the beautiful Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island, Michigan, USA. The substitution actually worked quite well, because in 1912, Elise knew of Rachmaninov, but the Rhapsody which Richard hummed was unknown to her, as it hadn't yet been written. You can see a Mahler album in Richard's apartment in the 1972 segment, and there's a bust of Mahler on his desk in 1980. Rachmaninov's 'Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini' was used instead, but the visual images of Mahler and his work remained in the film as a tribute to the writer's favourite composer. However, there were problems adapting the screenplay during editing to suit Mahler's symphony. Matheson is a huge fan of Gustav Mahler, especially his Symphony No 10, which was his first choice for the soundtrack. Matheson wrote the screenplay, and also has a cameo role in the film. The story involves a man, Richard Collier (played by Christopher Reeve), who travels back in time 68 years to meet a beautiful woman, Elise McKenna (played by Jane Seymour), whose image he fell in love with. The film Somewhere in Time, based upon Matheson's novel, was made in 1980. He was intrigued by the mystery which surrounded a time in her life when she changed from a youthful gregarious personality to practically a recluse. Writer Richard Matheson wrote his novel Bid Time Return when he found a photograph of seclusive actress Maude Adams 1 (1872 - 1953).
