Kate & Leopold

Kate & Leopold (2001) is a romantic fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director James Mangold pairs Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman across a century-wide gap: she is a driven New York marketing executive, he is a 19th-century British duke who tumbles through a crack in time and lands in modern Manhattan.

Kate's ex-boyfriend Stuart (Liev Schreiber) discovered a portal hidden in the structure of the Brooklyn Bridge — and dragged Leopold, Duke of Albany, straight out of 1876. The duke is not a joke or a costume. He is genuinely, disarmingly courteous, baffled by elevators and utterly out of step with the pace of contemporary life. Kate has no time for aristocrats. Then she keeps noticing that Leopold is exactly what he appears to be.

Released by Miramax and running 118 minutes, the film gave Hugh Jackman one of his most charming early Hollywood roles. Stream Kate & Leopold (2001) in full online on iFILM.
