[7/10 · 20 October 2013]

This movie is called " I'll never forget you. " The director is Roy Ward Baker and his finish product does a remarkable job of it becoming a Masterpiece. The story however could have been selected from those strange episodes of 'The Twilight Zone'. It concerns a modern day American scientist named Peter Standish (Tyrone Power) who not only works on a project dealing with Nuclear energy, but also inherits an early English house set in the fashionable part of Londan. Once there he has a over powering feeling of deja vu and actually believes he has lived there before. Believeing he is the direct descendant of his father, he confides in his best friend Roger Forsyth (Michael Rennie) that he will travel back to the past. Dismissing the possibility, Roger invites Peter to stay with him for a vacation, when he abruptly disappears and reappears as his ancestor in 1784 A.D. During his absence Peter takes the place of his ancestor and enjoys all the sights and experiences of England which becomes more dangerous the longer he remains. The movie itself becomes a delightful dream but one which evolves into a nightmare. This is a must film for Tyrone power fans and is further enhanced with the talents of Michael Rennie. All in all a Classic film for many a collector. ****
