Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the past, Elise McKenna is starring in a play at the Grand Hotel. Who wrote it?

Answer: Bartlett Wells

Seen clearly on the placard outside the theater. As far as I can tell, both the play ('Wisdom Of the Heart') and its author are entirely fictional constructs.
2. Richard Collier finally finds Elise walking by the lake. She speaks first. What does she say to him?

Answer: is it you

Richard is surprised to hear these words, but manages to answer with a 'Yes.'
3. Richard and Elise's first meeting is interrupted by Elise's manager, William Robinson. What is Robinson's middle name?

Answer: Fawcett

Stated several times throughout the film. Christopher Plummer did an excellent job with the role, I felt.
4. Elise has a young French woman as her personal assistant. What is her name?

Answer: Marie

When Richard first knocks on the door of Elise's hotel room, it is Marie who answers. We see her again later, after Elise's performance. (And for all those etymologists out there, 'Paige' is a French name meaning 'young attendant.' That was kind of a red herring, I guess.
5. The night before Elise's performance, Robinson gives Elise some last-minute pointers. She apparently knows the last comment he offers by heart, as she says it along with him. What is it?

Answer: 'Excess within control.'

They share a smile at her playfulness, and it's clear that despite Robinson's dark side, he truly does care very much for Elise.
6. Richard and Elise spend the day together on scenic Mackinac Island. Which of the following things do they NOT do during their visit?

Answer: Have their portrait painted

They pause briefly to watch a man painting portraits, but never sit for one themselves. Time is short, after all!
7. Richard asks Elise why she seemed to recognize him on first sight. What is her explanation?

Answer: Robinson somehow knew that he was coming, and warned her

Elise suggests, without actually stating it outright, that Robinson possesses some precognitive ability. Does he, or is he just an extremely good (or paranoid) guesser? We never really find out.
8. Elise tells Richard that the theater company is set to leave the Grand Hotel immediately following their performance that night. Where are they off to?

Answer: Denver, CO

A long way from the northernmost tip of Michigan, especially before the advent of commercial air travel.
9. Where does Richard and Elise's electrifying first kiss take place?

Answer: In her hotel room

In my opinion, the best kiss in the history of cinema.
10. During Elise's first scene in 'Wisdom of the Heart,' her character laments the fact that she is engaged to a man she finds distasteful. The maid says, 'Surely there must be SOMETHING you like about him, Miss.' What does Elise say?

Answer: 'Yes. His absence.'

Elise gets a good laugh from the audience with that one.
11. Who says, 'I love you' first?

Answer: Elise

Elise, in the middle of her performance, goes WAY off-script and launches into a monologue about a very special man. Richard realizes that she is speaking directly to him, and is fairly bowled over when she says, 'I love you.' The audience thinks it's part of the play, and applauds wildly!
12. Robinson asks Richard if he knows how long that Elise has been his protege. Richard, of course, knows exactly how long it's been, due to the extensive research he did before coming to the past. Since the date is June 28, 1912, how long has Robinson been Elise's manager?

Answer: 9.25 years

Robinson: 'Do you have any idea how long she's been with me?' Richard: 'Since March, 1903.' Okay, so it might be 9.333 years, depending on how early in March Robinson came onto the scene.
13. Robinson hires a couple of thugs to subdue Richard, but tells Elise that Richard has simply taken off. Robinson admits that Richard was different from most of the other men he has 'protected' Elise from over the years. In what way does he say that Richard was notable?

Answer: He was more charming

Robinson: 'He was...different from the others. More charming. Perhaps more sincere.' But Elise isn't having it -- she refuses to believe that Richard would abandon her of his own volition, and she's right.
14. Richard awakes to find himself beaten, bound and gagged the morning after the play. Where is he?

Answer: In a stable

He is awakened by a horse eating the hay next to his head. After he frees himself and runs out of the building, we see the word 'STABLE' painted on it.
15. During the play's intermission, Elise has her photograph taken. The actor playing the photographer would later join the cast of 'Saturday Night Live.' Who was he?

Answer: Tim Kazurinsky

'Somewhere In Time' was in fact Kazurinsky's motion picture debut.
16. When Elise criticizes Richard's suit, he playfully defends it, putting it on as he does so. Richard: 'And the sleeves fit, which is amazing, since my arms are about ___________ long.' What are the two missing words?

Answer: 9 feet

A slight exaggeration, of course.
17. Richard realizes that he has made a fatal error when, while digging through the change pocket of his vest, he retrieves a penny that belongs in the present. What year is printed on the coin?

Answer: 1979

Earlier in the film, as Richard was preparing for his journey to 1912, we saw him accidentally put his modern change right into the pocket of his suit along with the vintage coins. He realized his mistake immediately, and fished out all of the modern coins...or so he thought.
18. Back in the present, Richard finds himself unable to muster the concentration to repeat his journey, and languishes away for the better part of a week. Arthur and a doctor finally find him on the verge of death, and call for an ambulance. What suite does Arthur say they're in?

Answer: Suite 313

Richard dies -- of starvation? Dehydration? A broken heart? Almost immediately after the call is made.
19. When Richard arrives in the 'afterlife,' Elise is waiting for him. What is said?

Answer: Neither of them says anything.

He removes his hat and takes her hand. They smile at each other without a word, and the movie comes to an end.
20. A final question, this one about the prolific and masterful Richard Matheson, who wrote both the novel the film is based on and the screenplay itself. Which of the following did Matheson NOT also write?

Answer: He wrote all of these things

Matheson endures as one of the most respected names in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. He was one of Rod Serling's top writers on 'The Twilight Zone,' and his novel 'The Shrinking Man' was adapted into the 1950's classic film 'The Incredible Shrinking Man.' He also wrote both the short story 'Duel' and the subsequent screenplay, which would become Steven Spielberg's first major project.
