Industry Reviews
"...Charming comedy, disarming romance, feverish suspense, and genuine tragedy..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Glenn Kenny (02/17/1995)
"...Magical..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/28/1979)
"[A]n appropriately grisly cross between THE TIME MACHINE and AMERICA'S MOST WANTED..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (04/13/2004)
"Nicholas Meyer's 1979 time-travel fantasy has a terrific premise....The painted backdrops of Big Ben, the sets of London streets with fog machines working overtime make everything look gloomy and mysterious, all have a quaintness that's very pleasing."
New York Times - Charles Taylor (09/12/2008)
