- Quotes
Elise McKenna: The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? "Forgive me. I have never known this feeling. I have lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognise you? You, who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say. I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you". Such would I say to him if he were really here.
- Alternate versionsVideo version has some parts of the soundtrack changed, due to copyright problems: the original theme from "Somewhere in Time", performed by pianist Roger Williams over the ending titles, is replaced by other music in the videocassette and DVD versions. It's intact in the laserdisc release.
