Dear Fans,
I watched this movie with Tyrone Power, Ann Blyth, and other distinguished actors last night. It's known by various titles: I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU, THE HOUSE IN THE SQUARE and MAN OF TWO WORLDS, and is a remake of the 1930s film BERKELEY SQUARE. The movie dates to 1951 and I think it was most likely a primary source for the storyline in which Vicki traveled back through time to 18th century Collinwood:

The 1951 film does not have any characters corresponding to Joshua, Aunt Abigail, Trask, Ben et al, but the hero's name is Peter Standish which might have somehow suggested the name of Peter Bradford.
The most amusing character is foppish brother Tom played by legendary UK character actor Dennis Price... it would have been fun if a character like this had been part of the 18th century Collins family.
