brian aherne star a an age stage actor . he be rich and famous and but very unhappy and tire . most of this be because he feel that life have somehow pass him by he a relic of the past . his trophy wife isn not particularly interested in him and he long for his long dead first wife and his idyllic youth . when he arrive late for the first rehearsal of his next play and the director ( real life director sydney pollack play this part ) be brash and obnoxious further push him to long for the good old day . then and suddenly and upon leave the theater it now 1927. he look the same but everyone else be young . and and to his great surprise and his old friend and wife be alive and full of life . you would think that this would be everything he would ever wish for and but aherne soon learn that you can never go back . the theme of this episode be live in the moment and while this installment of the series isn not a weird or unpredictable a most and it manage to work well because of the nice leisurely pace that be create by aherne . he glide slowly and deliberately through his role instill it with both class as well a sentimentality that i really like . not a great episode but also one well worth see .
