I have loved this movie since the very first time I saw it in the 1980's. I was thrilled when I found it written up here on the IMDb. I have recently acquired a copy of the VHS version of this movie in an auction on eBay! The tape I purchased is an old previous video rental, but it's in excellent condition and I was so happy to be able to watch the movie again! It's still as good as I remember it.
I just wanted all you die-hard fans of this movie to know that it *IS* possible to get a copy of it if you really want it....

I saw this CBS made-for-TV Movie in 1979 when it first premiered. It has a fantasy-like quality to it. Lindsay Wagner is adequate, never really an enthralling actress. Marc Singer, Linda Gray, Irene Tedrow all contribute as supporting characters. Based on the book "Second Sight" it tells of a woman trying to rebuild her marriage, and she finds an antique dress in the house she and her husband buy. Each time she puts on the dress she is transported back to the 19th century. There she falls in love with the artist who lived in her house a century earlier. It is a movie that deserves to be viewed over and over again. I have this move on DVD.
I have been trying to remember the title of this movie and who was in it. I haven't seen it since about 1980 or so. I saw this film when I was a child of about 10 or 11 years of age and I loved it. Of course it was great seeing "the bionic woman (Lindsay Wagner)and "sue ellen ewing" (Linda Gray) on screen in period costumes. That's who they were back then. I have always been fascinated by history, costumes and time travel. I mean really, what if these things were really possible? Anyway this film is a sweet and moving love story with a bit of science fiction thrown in. I highly recommend it. Thanks to this site I can now seek it out for purchase.
A captivating TV movie. Great story based on the novel "Second Sight" by David Williams, teleplay by Frank De Felitta. Even though the movie fits perfectly into the fantasy genre, I found that the relationship experiences that these characters go through to be very compelling and real. Produced in 1979, this film reminds me so much of the 1980 film, "Somewhere in Time" starring Christopher Reeve. I'm surprised to find that "The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan" actually came first!
I found the acting to be superb. Each actor and actress played their part so well. Kudos to the casting director. I highly recommend this film. There's a sweet innocence to this film that seems to be lost in today's filmmaking. Yes, there are some films that have this sweet quality, but they are few and far between.

I loved this movie, I think of it often, I even brought a poster of a woman in the victorian dress, I called it my "Jennie Logan". I would love to have a copy either VHS of DVD. A TV movie has never an that kind of affect on me.

- TriviaThe film is based on the 1977 novel "Second Sight" by David L. Williams. In the novel, Jennie merely finds a drawing of the white Victorian dress and has a replica made, whereas in the film she finds an actual white Victorian dress in the attic. The replica dress in the novel and the dress found in the attic in the film both work as the catalyst transporting her back in time.
- GoofsWhen Jennie is told to take off her wet dress, it was obviously dry.
