It's kind of significant that this movie was made in 2000, as it seemed to be the swan song to the kind of TV movies that were once so prolific and so damn good. Makes me long for time travel!
This movie could be called a combination of the Willoughby episode of "The Twilight Zone" and "The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan", a 1979 TV movie, back when they were at their best.
This time, it's Mark Harmon who, as Charles Lattimer, is a modern-day person with a longing for the past. Commuting by train to St. Louis, he finds himself transported (with some help from an antique watch) back to 1896, and a small town named Sommerville.
Soon, he finds himself falling for Laura Brown (Mary McDonnell), a widowed newspaper editor, and torn between her and Kristen (Catherine Hicks), his wife in the present, who - to quote an old cliche - just doesn't understand him.
As he makes up his mind where he really belongs, time - in both eras - moves along and his actions have consequences. But his heart knows what he truly wants!
If you're a hopeless romantic with a yen for bygone days, this is the movie for you!
