Quest for Love is a 1971 British romantic science fiction drama film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Joan Collins, Tom Bell and Denholm Elliott. It is based on the story Random Quest by John Wyndham.[1]
Plot
An explosion at a demonstration of his new invention catapaults physicist Colin Trafford into a parallel universe - an identical world, but with subtle differences, where John F. Kennedy is still President and the Vietnam war hasn't happened yet. Here he's a famous author with a beautiful wife he instantly falls in love with, but who his alternate self never cared for. But just as suddenly, another accident propels Trafford back to our world where he's caught in a race against time, in a quest to find the woman he loves. Little does she know, however, that her life depends on him finding her.

Critical reception
TV Guide noted, "an unusual science fiction tale that doesn't completely work but does hold interest...The story gets complicated, but the direction juggles the separate worlds without much trouble. Bell's performance makes this project work. He's believable and earnest and brings it off with a guiding clarity." [2]; while Time Out called the film "puerile sci-fi romance" [3] ; but DVD Talk wrote, "a surprisingly effective romance with just the barest sci-fi framework...it succeeds in large part due to the two leads' believable underplaying. Bell is on the right note from the beginning of the film, never overplaying his hand...Collins, whom too many people know only from TV's Dynasty, is simply wonderful here, creating a fully-dimensional character." [4]
