The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan – Second Sight

The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan was once another one of those rare films to obtain. I searched for any version of it for years. When it could be found, it was on VHS from Ebay for lots of money. Not anymore. It was finally released on DVD in 2010 by MGM in a limited edition collection. So it’s still a little bit expensive.

This was the VHS version I had. It went for over $100.00 on Ebay.

The film was made as a made-for-TV movie and originally aired in 1979. It starred Lindsay Wagner, Alan Feinstein, Marc Singer, and Linda Gray.

Ironic note: Linda Gray was married to Lindsay Wagner’s uncle, Ed Thrasher. So at one time, Gray was Wagner’s aunt by marriage.

This film was made after Lindsay Wagner had become famous for her role in the spin-off series of The Six Million Dollar Man, called The Bionic Woman. But made before Linda Gray played her most famous roll as J.R. Ewing’s wife on Dallas.

Linda Gray as Elizabeth Harrington.

The movie was a screen adaptation of David William’s novel, Second Sight in which a married couple moves into a Victorian house where Jennie Logan finds a drawing of a period dress. (In the movie, she finds the dress itself) She has the dress made from the sketch and when she puts it on, she is transported to the past where she falls in love with David, the artist who lives in the house.

In the film, David is played by Canadian actor, Marc Singer. To add further irony to this story, Singer would later have a role on the TV show, Dallas with Linda Gray.

The story is a good time travel romance with a touch of mystery and suspense. Jennie Logan is caught between two times and the two men she loves. The novel is well loved and the movie has been sought after for years.
