Kate & Leopold is a 2001 romantic comedy motion picture that tells a story of a Duke who time travels from 1876 to the present and falls in love with a career woman in New York.
The film is directed by James Mangold and stars Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber. The DVD edition contains two versions of the film: one, the original theatrical release, runs for 118 minutes while the director's cut version runs for 122. One scene in the director's cut shows Ryan's character in a test screening for a new movie and also features a cameo by Mangold.
The film was nominated in 2002 for the Academy Award for Best Song.
Trivia and errors
There is a scene in which Leopold shames Kate's show-off boss by showing that he doesn't know that Puccini's La Bohème is sung in Italian, even though it is set in France. Leopold comes from 1876, but Puccini's La Bohème was first performed in 1896.
