It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

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.

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!

Much as I enjoyed the movie when it first came out way back in the 70s when I was living in Canada, find the book if you can.... As good as the movie is it is not a patch on the book by David Williams, it has unfortunately been out of print for many years although very occasionally a copy comes up on e-bay, but they do not come cheap. (I did manage to get the only copy I had seen for a long time). Perhaps one day the film will be released on DVD or the publishers will see sense and re-print it. Whichever you manage to obtain, it is well worth watching or reading. I have only ever seen it once on TV since returning to the UK and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a film to watch with the girls, some popcorn and a box of tissues.

I first saw this movie in 1982 and next time it was on TV I taped it. That movie was watched so many times and I never got tired of it.It is the story of an unhappy housewife trying to deal with her husband's infidelity. They move to an old house in the country where Jennie finds a beautiful old dress.Whenever Jennie wears the dress she is transported back in time and meets the original owner of the house, a talented artist.After making enquires about the artist she finds out that he gets murdered, but in the meantime she falls in love with him so she sets out to try to save him.I have read the book "Second Sight" which the movie is based on and although it does stray from the book a bit, it doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great movie.I have also been very lucky to obtain a copy of this movie on DVD, that has coped a hiding too.
