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....

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 notice that many previous reviewers have been trying to obtain a copy of this film after viewing same. I can really understand why because it's impact is romantically haunting. When I saw it advertised for screening in the 1980's I preset a video to record it while I was out shopping. Unfortunately due to insufficient tape I missed the ending and it was two years later when I managed to obtain a copy from a local video store to complete my experience of a tale which I found absolutely fascinating. Lindsay Wagner is magnificent and well suited in the role of the gentle loving romantic Jenny Logan along with her less enamored happy go lucky husband Michael played by Marc Singer. When they buy an old house once owned by an unknown artist she finds a doorway to the world of the past by wearing an old dress discovered in the attic. This leads her to a romance with the artist as she travels to a time in pre-turn of the century 1900. The great appeal of this film is the transition from the uncaring hustle and bustle of the present to the gracious principled and courteous past marking the distinctly different attitudes of the people of these respective eras. The story right to the ending is a well laid out plot with the respective events giving a totally believable twist to the fate and fortune of Jenny Logan. This is a film which you can watch over and over, never find boring, and then become caught up being addicted with the fantasy of being one of the principal characters in this unforgettable tale. A great tear jerker for the ladies.
When I first saw this wonderful movie my daughter was three. She is now twenty-six & we still remember this movie, the name of the characters,the story line. I have looked everywhere. I've been told there isn't any such movie. Wow! Imagine that? If I had my own copy I'd watch it on my birthday, my daughter's & my mother's & probably my sisters. Lindsay Wagner & Marc Singer are absolutely perfect. The mystery, the hope, the desire for the perfect love, all is very poignant & fresh. It doesn't get old no matter how many times you see it. It is absolutely wonderful, fantastic, fabulous. More films such as this one & people wouldn't need valium, or paxel. Everyone would go around starry eyed & humming Love is a many splendored thing! If any movie should be made available to the public, this one more than any other, should.
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.

- 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.
