The Two Worlds Of Jennie Logan (1979)

After buying an old Victorian house in New England, an unhappily married wife (Lindsay Wagner) discovers an antique wedding dress in the attic. By wearing the gown, she finds she is able to transport herself back and forth to 1899 where she falls in love with an artist (Marc Singer). Her husband (Alan Feinstein) however thinks she's hallucinating. Eventually, she must make a choice whether to live in the present or the past. Based on the novel SECOND SIGHT by David L. Williams and directed by author turned director Frank De Felitta (AUDREY ROSE, THE ENTITY). One year before SOMEWHERE IN TIME was released, this routine travel back in time romance debuted on CBS. While not without some interest, it's vastly inferior to the 1980 movie. There's a twist near the end of the film that I guessed very early in the movie. There's also a bit of hypocrisy to Wagner's character. She's cold toward her husband because of a one night stand he had yet she has no problem climbing into bed with a man who's been dead  for over 75 years! Glenn Paxton's mediocre score only adds to the blandness of the whole thing. With Linda Gray, Henry Wilcoxon, Constance McCashin and Irene Tedrow.
