Watch The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan For Free

Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Absolutely amazing

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Well, is the T.V. movie "The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan" a very subtle ripoff of a similar movie called "Somewhere in Time?" I know, I know, "Two Worlds" was made in 1979, while "Somewhere" was made in 1980. So who's ripping off who? Or are they both adaptations of the novel by Richard Matheson called "Bid Time Return" which was written in 1975? Who cares? Anyway, both movies are similar with some differences. In "Two Worlds" Lindsay Wagner is the time traveler, whereas in "Somewhere" Christopher Reeves is a similar traveler. And both Lindsey and Christopher's characters escape into the past at the end. Both are examples of "Romance Science Fiction" of which there are very few movies made. And for good reason. Watch it and weep. Or not. Your choice. I gave this movie a two star rating because I felt sorry for it. Was I supposed to be moved to tears? NOPE. I liked the Star Trek episode "City on the edge of Forever" better because it dealt with romance time travel science fiction better than "Two Worlds."

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.

I was a young woman the first time I saw this film. It was so well written & the actors just fit the parts. I agree with all the comments about this film being a timeless piece, that can be enjoyed even years later. I too taped it & watched it over & over. I lost the tape in a move across country & would love to see it again. It was based on a book (can't remember the name of that either) I was able to get a copy of that, but as luck would have it, I let a friend read it & never saw it again! Can anyone help with a book title or the name of the company that made the film for TV? I am sure that there is a way to find a move channel like classic movies or someone to air this film. It has to be somewhere in the dusty back-room of a studio. Is there anyone out there who can help all of us people that would love to see this great timeless movie again. Please let me/us know. thanks

You know, as I read these comments, and think back on this film, I realize that it isn't what alot of moviegoers who are used to big budget films & "Titanic" type storytelling might not "get it" - but given the movie's time frame of when it was made, late 70's, made-for-tv, and with several of the biggest tv stars of the day, it really does stand up quite well. Lindsay Wagner is beautiful in this film and it's almost like seeing another side of Jamie Sommers - "bionic woman" fans will understand that - and it's just one of thse movies that will bring tears to your eyes every time - especially at the end. It IS available on VHS with some searching, so you real fans - don't give up. It will make for that much more of an enjoyable time for you when you DO find it.Thanks, Kenny
