Itโs a rather bizarre idea that a man travels 70 years back in time for a one night stand. If some people find that romantic, well okay. I prefer the novel Bid Time Returnโs story where the protagonist has brain cancer and itโs left up to the reader to decide if Richard Collier really went back in time or was his diaryโs entry a side effect delusion caused by cancer. I donโt know why the author Richard Matheson changed the story in the screenplay and left out that part of the plot. Maybe he thought people wouldnโt like the ambiguous original ending.
