I imagine it might be a decent flick if you can stand these types of movies that aim to spice up sappy and stupid romance dramas with time travel... but when you get down to it, that's all this drivel is. The story is about a woman and a man who move into a house to help her get over the fact he was cheating on her, and a woman who discovers she can travel into the past and falls in love with a man who repeatedly almost runs her over as she keeps popping out in front of him in the past... this in turn causes him to save her and fall in love with him. She discovers he was murdered so she trys to figure out to save him before he dies so she can be his baby mama. She looks for clues in the future how to save him so in the end she ultimately get to stay in the past with him.The background music is as desperate to make you feel bad as the movie is... it really feels like a bad tv movie from the 70s. I'm not exactly the best person to rate romance movies, so take this review with that... if they are your thing, you might enjoy this, the use of time travel doesn't really add anything except give a boring romance story a reason to exist in my opinion.

After reading that this film in that it was written and directed by Frank De Felitta, who made the memorably scary and lurid Barbara Hershey horror film "The Entity," I was somewhat intrigued what this paranormal TV movie would be like. While "The Entifity" much more along the lines of "The Exorcist" or "The Changeling" as a straight up horror film, this film is much more along the lines of "Somewhere in Time" or "The Time Traveler's Wife" as a romantic story with mystery and fantasy elements. Lindsay Wagner, best known as The Bionic Woman, Jaimie Sommers, plays Jeannie Logan, a recently divorced woman moving into an old Victorian home. After exploring her new home, she finds herself traveling back in time and unraveling a murder mystery that occurred long ago at the home. She falls in love with a hunky artist from the past, The Beastmaster, Marc Singer, but is The Beastmaster the murderer? Will love conquer all? Will the Bionic Woman be trapped in the past or trapped in the present away from her Beastmaster love? This is strictly 1970s cheese, but it's pretty entertaining cheese.

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.

How excited am I!! I have been searching for the title of this film and have now found it! I remember watching this as a child around 1980 and have never seen it since. I was fascinated with the story - I especially remember the ending - fantastic! I forgot the title of the film and to make things harder I don't think it has ever been shown on UK TV again. Its strange how I have never forgot about this film and it has left a lasting impression 25 years on! I've looked on Ebay and you can buy a DVD/VHS video so I'm going to relive my childhood and I hope it is as good the second time around! I can't wait! It was fab reading the other comments - I was beginning to think I was the only person to enjoy this film! Ed
