A 72-Year-Old Movie Has One Of The Best Explanations For Time Travel

Every time travel movie has its own set of rules for the science fiction phenomenon, but one movie from over 70 years ago, I’ll Never Forget You, has an explanation that trumps that of modern movies. Arriving nearly 35 years before time travel classic Back to the Future, the 1951 film I’ll Never Forget You follows scientist Peter Standish, whose decision to travel from the 1950s to the 18th century doesn’t quite work out as he had hoped. Rather than leaving behind the complexities of 20th century life for a simpler existence, Peter has a difficult time assimilating to the past. To make matters worse, Peter falls for the wrong woman, jeopardizing both his past and future.
