The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan (1979)

best movie i've ever seen.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I previously wrote a review of this movie several years ago, and just looked through the additional ones, with the most recent being 2009, I believe. I wanted to let everyone know that this film IS now available on DVD from MGM; in fact they print it on demand when ordered. It is well worth having in your collection in such a pristine way.Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Jennie-Limited-Edition- Collection/dp/B003B3O5K4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC? ie=UTF8&colid=3DI8X1ES4OHLR&coliid=IG3YNOGXJ4TKCGreat film, highly recommended. If the link does not work, you can go to Lindsay Wagner's page (www.lindsaywagner.com) and to go the movies/TV section, and there is a link there for the Amazon.com purchase.

I agree with many other reviewers, who liken this fine movie to "Somewhere in Time." It has that same feel to it, though much more firmly rooted in the present. The passages from present to past and back again are nicely handled, so there is no confusion about where Jennie is at any given moment -- unless, as on a couple of occasions, the director chooses to keep that a secret momentarily.My main reservation about the movie is that the acting is, for the most part, only passable. I sensed that the filming was rushed a bit and that a theatrical release would have used more takes to good advantage. Often, the actors seemed merely to be reciting memorized lines. Not too badly, mind you, but not entirely convincing either. Irene Tedrow (Mrs. Bates) was particularly guilty of that. Alan Feinstein (Michael) and Lindsay Wagner (Jennie) also let their acting techniques show rather too conspicuously here and there. Marc Singer (David Reynolds) was strong throughout.The spoiler, referred to above, is because I must comment on one regrettable close-up of Jennie. She lies dead on her bed in the attic, and Lindsay Wagner's closed left eye clearly twitches. That shot should have been retaken. But then the ending comes about, and it is marvelous. The idea for hidden paintings (all showing the pendant Michael gave her) is truly inspired, and Alan Feinstein really nails this difficult scene -- a sweet combination of crying and smiling that is utterly human!

It's pure sappy romance - in the best sense of the world. I cried like a baby the first time I saw it - I was in my early teens. I saw it again a few years ago and it's definitely made-for-TV but still a great guilty pleasure.Would guys like it? Only if he was a true romantic, a fan of Lindsay Wagner, or wanted to in fact BE LW. Anyhow, he probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend. No, I fear this is a film a guy would most likely watch to humor his girlfriend. If you want a story with a beautiful heroine, a GORGEOUS house in the country, a romantic hero, and a dress to die for, give it a chance.M.

You know, as I read these comments, and think back on this film, I realize that it isn't what alot of moviegoers who are used to big budget films & "Titanic" type storytelling might not "get it" - but given the movie's time frame of when it was made, late 70's, made-for-tv, and with several of the biggest tv stars of the day, it really does stand up quite well. Lindsay Wagner is beautiful in this film and it's almost like seeing another side of Jamie Sommers - "bionic woman" fans will understand that - and it's just one of thse movies that will bring tears to your eyes every time - especially at the end. It IS available on VHS with some searching, so you real fans - don't give up. It will make for that much more of an enjoyable time for you when you DO find it.Thanks, Kenny
