To clear up my last comment . The part I question is the part where he saids at 0:50 " They are now connected by a long bridge"

The board "Flo" is holding says July 1953.I would imagine it took several years to edit the film and then add the voice narration,and by then the bridge could have been built.Remember in 1953 there were no digital cameras and computers,this kind of video was a long slow process.

What year was film made? The man said there is now a bridge. The bridge started to be built in 1954 but did not open until 1957. So that is why I question when the film was made. Other than that a great film the man could have had a career in film making .

The island really doesn't look much different today. There are still no cars allowed. Beautiful scenery, unhurried pace. It looks so strange to see views of the straits without the Mackinac Bridge, which opened in 1957.

Yes, this is a beautiful place. Particulary after the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed at the Grand Hotel.

I visited the hotel in 2007 and had a lunch buffet in the grand ballroom. Just unforgetable and always make me remembering the scenes of "Somewhere in Time".

Still one of the best places in the US. Thankfully, no one believes me.

The wife and I agree, but we'll keep quite for you.
