Spartacus or.........
Somewhere in Time
As you can tell I have been on a little Jean Simmons binge and wanted to continue along that trend.
But looking at the synopsis and featured picture on the sleeve I surmised that Jean wasn't going to be a leading lady.
I wanted sex, romance, tragedy and here on the other DVD cover staring up at me was Christopher Reeve and the beautiful Jane Seymour (before being typecast as a stripping MILF)
Synopsis
The story of a young writer who sacrifices his life in the present to find happiness in the past, where true love awaits him. Young Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) is approached by an elderly lady who gives him an antique gold watch and who pleads with him to return in time with her. Years later, Collier is overwhelmed by a photograph of a beautiful woman (Jane Seymour). Another picture of this woman in her later years reveals that she is the same woman who had given him the gold watch. Collier then becomes obsessed with returning to 1912 and the beautiful woman that awaits him there.
Come on would you not buy that, I mean it sounds pretty shit I admit, but aren't you just the little bit intrigued?
When home I found I had bought into a cult classic that even had it's own massive fan club
Well I can tell you that this probably is one of the worst movies ever made but it was crappily AWESOME!
(I will be returning to buy Spartacus tomorrow)
