My Summer Place

I confess I saw "A Summer's Place" in the movies when it came out and I was 14 years old. It holds up very well. It is professionally directed by Delmer Daves ("3:10 to Yuma" "Demetrius and the Gladiators")with beautiful cinematography. I think it's fair to say that the movie made the Maine Coast a travel destination for the rest of America. But above all it is the actors that make this Hollywood entertainment at its best. Richard Egan, Dorothy McGuire, Arthur Kennedy and Constance Ford (the adults: 40 years and more before the OC television series) and of course one of the archtypical teenage couples: Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue both of whom are better than they're given credit. But my heart then and now goes to the adult story. Very interestly the movie is about the consequences of sexual repression (the adult story) and the dangers of giving into sex too easily.(teenage story) And then of course there's the Max Steiner's music, not just his most popular "Theme from A Summer's Place" (Johnny and Molly's music) but the credit music which is Egan's and McGuire's adult love music. So yes first rate, 5 stars, Hollywood entertainment. I'm not ashamed to say it: "In front of God and everybody"

Best place to shop

I had been shopping for this movie ( A Summer Place ) on and off for 4 yrs. Everybody said it was not in print anylonger. No VHS . So my daughter who shops Amazon.com helped me to start shopping. By the second time I was here I found the movie. On a DVD!!!! What a surprise. So now I am trying to find some other old movies that I may purchase. This is not the only purchase I have made. I also ordered shoes, and another recently released DVD that I could not find anyplace else. I am hooked!!! I know when I want something hard to find, I will find it here. Thank you. I am enjoying my movies so much. A Summer Place has been a favorite, it tells so much about how life is in true form. A moving,sad, happy ending movie. I cried as I did the first time I saw it.

Love and Romance

This film is a must for a collector. Brilliant acting by all and the music/theme is wonderful. I would recommend this as a "chic's flick".

A Summer Place

Dramatic story of love and passion and controling hatered. The Lost lover reunited after year. Their children falling in love. The mother of the young girl controling and angry at her own emptiness. Beautiful story and amazing acting.

don't buy it

Horrible & contrived plot- stepsister & stepbrother end up getting married and having a kid together. Unless you really like soap-like drama, this is not a quality movie.
