An unusual science fiction tale that doesn't completely work but does hold interest. Bell is a physicist who finds himself in an earlier world. John F. Kennedy is still President, the war in Vietnam has yet to begin, and Mt. Everest is yet to be climbed. Bell meets Collins, his real wife
in the other world, and she is dying. The blow of her death sends Bell back to the real world, where he immediately goes looking for Collins before she dies once more. The story gets complicated, but the direction juggles the separate worlds without much trouble. Bell's performance makes this
project work. He's believable and earnest and brings it off with a guiding clarity.
