Now I know why the chemistry of Leslie Howard worked so well in GWTW. He was most dashing! The attempt to portray time travel and it's fearful interpretations was impressive and laid the groundwork for "Back to the Future" and others as well.
I enjoyed the peculiar moments of slip ups in modern, for 1933, language and mannerisms in 1784 London. The actual transitions from one time to another was awkward but having limited expectations this presented no problem from an otherwise exciting plot.
My biggest issue was the glimpse of our future with the wars, speed, violence, and loud noise complimented with a grand finale fireworks display. Who would want to be part of that mess? Well, a plot device to prevent anyone switching places, I assume the trap had to be set.
God's timeframe seemed to provide little satisfaction unless one passes at 23. However, it was a romantic interlude that is seldom created even in today's films. Interesting to note this may have been the first film mention of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was portrayed in 2008 "The Duchess".
High recommend for Howard fans, time travel, British vs Colonials, and eternal love.
