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."

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.

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.

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.
