Berkeley Square is the title of a 1933 film produced by Fox Film Corporation. It was directed by Frank Lloyd and stars Leslie Howard, Heather Angel, Valerie Taylor and Colin Keith-Johnston. For several years it was considered lost until rediscovered in the 1970s. It has yet to be released onto DVD-Video.
The film was based on the play of the same name by John Balderston. It tells the story of a young American (played by Howard, nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor for the role) who is transported back to London in the time of the American Revolution, where he meets his ancestors.
The film was remade in 1951. The remake, entitled The House in the Square, but shown in the U.S. as I'll Never Forget You, starred Tyrone Power and Ann Blyth. It used a similar technique as The Wizard of Oz, by presenting the opening and closing sequences in black-and-white, and the rest of the film in color.
The film was an inspiration for a H. P. Lovecraft story "The Shadow out of Time" (1936).
