Trivialidades:

Errores:

Incorrectamente calificados como errores: Before Kate goes back in time, her dress is plain gray and her skirt is straight. When she is in 1876, her dress changed to one with black fringe lining that sticks out around the neck and the skirt has a large poof on the back. The dress in question was addressed in the special features of the film. The costume designer stated that she chose the design of this dress based on its ability to take simple modifications and fit nicely into a more elaborate "period" costume and be able to fit in to the style of dress that was socially acceptable once she had traveled to the 1900's. They added a bustle, short train and ruffles around the neckline so that it would contrast the more conservative style it once was in the 21st century.

Citas:

[first lines]
Roebling: Time. Time, it has been proposed, is the fourth dimension. And yet, for mortal man, time has no dimension at all. We are like horses with blinders, seeing only what lies before us. Forever guessing the future and fabricating the past.

Charming romantic comedy...with time travel weaknesses...

If you can accept the totally ridiculous premise of KATE AND LEOPOLD and enjoy romantic fantasies of this sort, you'll find yourself drawn into the plot because of the very charismatic HUGH JACKMAN. He is the main reason for watching and carries the film on his sturdy shoulders, so adept is he at being a "knight in shining armor".

As for MEG RYAN, she is giving her usual Meg Ryan schtick--a sort of slightly brighter version of Goldie Hawn--but here it doesn't matter because Jackman manages to steal every scene he's in. BRECKIN MEYER is excellent as her boorish brother who learns a few things from his 18th Century friend about manners and etiquette. But it's the time travel aspect of the story that is its weakest link.

Highly recommended as a romantic comedy that owes much of its charm to the performance of its leading man--an actor of remarkable skill whose hunky presence dominates much of the movie.

It's the sort of romantic fluff that would have starred JEAN ARTHUR and GARY COOPER had it been made in the '30s. The New York location photography is excellent.
