LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Sonya Troncoso When Jennie Logan and her husband move to the country, they acquire a Victorian house with a mysterious past. Jennie's unfaithful husband desperately wants a fresh start and tries to rebuild their marriage. Jennie, played by Lindsay Wagner finds a beautiful dress in the attic from the turn of the century. She repairs the small tear on the shoulder and puts it on, taking her to the year 1899. Soon Jennie realizes every time she wears the dress, she experiences a physical reaction and it transports her to the past. She meets David Reynolds, an artist and widower who to her surprise, occupies the same house where she now lives. The haunting soundtrack by Glenn Paxton is perfect as Jennie goes back and forth between two worlds. She explains her episodes to her husband who thinks she is having delusions and is punishing him for his infidelity. At first, even Jennie questions her mental state and sees a psychiatrist. But As Jennie travels more frequently to the past, she discovers she is falling in love with David. She also learns that David's father-in-law blames him for his daughter's death and threatens to kill him. To thicken the plot, David's sister-in-law played by Linda Gray is in love with him and can't seem to stay away. Jennie learns of the history of the house and of a duel between David and his father-in- law that took place at the turn of the century celebration. Can Jennie rewrite history and save him? I first saw "The two Worlds of Jennie Logan" on television when it was released in 1979 and it left an incredible impression as it was one of the first films to address the theme of time travel. This film made for television based on David L. Williams' novel "Second Sight" is a wonderful love story that still holds up today.

pennys-2 Much as I enjoyed the movie when it first came out way back in the 70s when I was living in Canada, find the book if you can.... As good as the movie is it is not a patch on the book by David Williams, it has unfortunately been out of print for many years although very occasionally a copy comes up on e-bay, but they do not come cheap. (I did manage to get the only copy I had seen for a long time). Perhaps one day the film will be released on DVD or the publishers will see sense and re-print it. Whichever you manage to obtain, it is well worth watching or reading. I have only ever seen it once on TV since returning to the UK and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a film to watch with the girls, some popcorn and a box of tissues.

cnutley55 I first saw this movie in 1982 and next time it was on TV I taped it. That movie was watched so many times and I never got tired of it.It is the story of an unhappy housewife trying to deal with her husband's infidelity. They move to an old house in the country where Jennie finds a beautiful old dress.Whenever Jennie wears the dress she is transported back in time and meets the original owner of the house, a talented artist.After making enquires about the artist she finds out that he gets murdered, but in the meantime she falls in love with him so she sets out to try to save him.I have read the book "Second Sight" which the movie is based on and although it does stray from the book a bit, it doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great movie.I have also been very lucky to obtain a copy of this movie on DVD, that has coped a hiding too.

eminess-1 This has been one of my all time favorites. If you like films to do with time travel and love stories then this is the one for you. Has a really nice ending! Guaranteed to enjoy!I have just managed to get a copy of this film on DVD, quality not sparkling but at least now it is on a disc it is safer than being on a video tape with the worry that it will get damaged in the player. I have had this film on tape for at least 10 year so as you can imagine I have got to the point that I don't like playing it.Lyndsy Wagner again plays a lovely part in this film as she does in all her films and TV and is one of my favoured actresses.
