The Two Worlds Of Jennie Logan

Enjoyment

Product exactly what I ordered.

I love this movie and was excited to find it!

I am an artist whose work tends to be set in the late 19th Century and I am someone who in the 1970's had a crush on Lindsey Wagner and did a portrait or two of her in my youth. I saw the movie on TV in 1979 and had not seen it again until this evening. This movie should have been on DVD a long time ago. It is the equal to classics of this genre such as the 1948 movie Portrait of Jennie with Jennifer Jones and Joesph Cotten, the 1947 version of The Ghost and Mrs.Muir, Somewhere in Time, and more recently The Love Letter with Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason Leigh.I cannot believe I had forgotten what an expressive actress Lindsey Wagner is. She perfectly embodies the character as written in the novel Second Sight which I have recently finished re-reading. The movie is somewhat different from the book but stands quite well on its own. It is beautifully filmed and the main theme when Jennie is in 1899 is lovely, evoking such lovely melodies as Josette's Theme or Quentin's Theme from Dark Shadows or the use of Debussy in Portrait of Jennie and not least the music from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.If you are starved for a film that truly understands romance in the ways Hollywood has all but forgotten, then this is the movie for you. The ideas expressed about the nature of time appeal to me greatly and nicely anticipate quantum physics. The idea that a dress could be so charged with energy in such a manner that enables its wearer to bridge the distance of today and yesterday is also quite romantic.I enjoyed this movie so much that my words expressing admiration of it pale in the face of its beauty.Spoiler warning if you have not seen this movie!Why anyone could ever cheat on someone like Jennie Logan is beyond me. Jennie's husband was a fool for cheating on her, but yet his indiscretion was necessary for Jennie to be where she finally belonged. His tears at the very end of the film I felt redeemed him at last when he saw the paintings pulled from the attic.Because I am an artist whose focus is the late Victorian period, there are a couple of things about this movie I would have done a bit differently. Marc Singer's hair fairly screamed the 1970s until he was formally attired for the party just before the duel. The other thing are the paintings seen at the very end. They also screamed 1970's especially with the hair of Jennie's daughters. I also wished they had looked more like the heartachingly beautiful Lindsey Wagner. The main portrait was quite lovely though and if I have time may try my own hand at painting a portrait of Jennie Logan. In no way do these slight quibbles of period accuracy take anything away from the glory of this film.I also commend Marc Singer and Linda Gray for their roles. Linda in the old age make up was incredible.

Time travel at its best

First of all, be aware that the cover shown is not the one you receive in the mail. I was told by MGM that this was for advertisement only. That said, the quality is much better than the copies I have owned on VHS (I have a total of three of those from different sources since the movie first aired). The VHS copies music is winey and not all that clear and sharp.These are "made on demand" and many people have complained about poor quality. If you receive one of these, it is important to contact the seller right away so they can send you a new one. Sometimes, even MGM - made on demand - may pass out a lemon. Not on purpose. But it does happen.VERY IMPORTANT: Once you receive your copy, review it "before" the exchange time runs out. Don't put it on your shelf, look at it nine months later and expect a defective copy to be replaced on the spot.The movie is wonderful and worth having. I actually own an original copy of the book this was based on "second sight" by David Williams. (this was before he became famous as a writer). But like all books turned into movies, a lot was changed; just in case you try to find the book and read it.People keep trying to compare this movie with Somewhere in Time (which I also own). Both are excellent movies. However about the only thing they really have in common it the "going back in time concept".Also Jennie Logan was released as a made for tv movie October 31, 1979 (with a made for tv budget). Somewhere In Time, was a major realease with a much, much higher budget to work with (and unless I am mistaken released a year later). To attempt to put both movies in the same catagory just does not workBottom line: If you loved the movie the first time around, you will like this copy even better.

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 status 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.

Excellent Seller,! LOVE THIS MOVIE! I highly recommend this movie! One of my all time favorites! Seller was great with decent delivery time! Buy it!

I had been trying to get this film for years. Arrived on time and love it!

Todo excelente salvo que el disco es un dvd -R.Pero mejor eso que nada.

TVで放映されて、ずーーーーと探してました。バイオニック・ジェミーの女優、リンゼーワグナーが出演していたという記憶だけが頼り。Somewhere　sometime　の構成に大変似ていて、「過去に旅した女」というわけのわからん日本名からはなかなかビデオを見つけることができませんでした。たまたま、「two worlds of ・・」の原題にたどり着いてからは本製品がすぐに見つかり、多少高いですが購入しました。日本語字幕がないので、英語に自信のあるかた、お勧めです。
