Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Think A Summer Place, and you'll probably be humming Max Steiner's wonderfully romantic instrumental theme song, a hand-holding hit in 1959. The movie itself is similarly irresistible, a colorful soap opera about the passions of a pair of dewy-eyed teens and their straying parents. At an island resort in Maine, Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue (the reigning teen idols of the day) fall hard for each other. What they don't know is that her father (Richard Egan) and his mother (Dorothy McGuire), lovers 20 years earlier, have rekindled their affair. Both, inconveniently, have spouses, which is what makes this a soap opera. Lovers of camp will find much to savor in the incredible '50s attitudes, and in the innocence of supervirgin Dee ("Johnny, have you been bad with girls?"). Yet the sincerity of writer-director Delmer Daves, cowriter of An Affair to Remember, comes shining through the corn; and the grown-up affair anticipates The Bridges of Madison County by 30 years. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Summer PlaceI remember this movie from my youth and it was still as wonderful as it was then. I loved it! Glad I have it for my collection. Ordering process was easy and I got it fast. Thanks AMAZON Rating: - Teen Idols In A Summer Place...Classic stuff with a great cast, Dorothy M, Sandra D, Troy D, etc. This entertains today as it ever did decades ago. Max Steiner wrote volumes of movie music, but this is perhaps his most popular. Excellent cinematography. Happy to report, Amazon erred by describing this aspect as 1.33:1. I took a chance and discovered it's really widescreen. Great price for the whole picture. Rating: - a summer placeTalk about morals! Talk about scandal! This movie spoke of the moral standard of the time. Still, all in all, it is a worthwhile movie to see. May cause some to re-evaluate the way they see things. Maybe! All the characters in the lead gave some good performances & the supporting cast was just a talented. Can't help but admire the music!. Wow, what a score! Rating:  - DeJa VuMy wife and I enjoy Sandra Dee movies and one of my favorite songs is the Theme for a Summer Place. My wife and Daughter-in-law watched the movie and both enjoyed it thoroughly. Rating: - Don't judge by the DVD cover!This film, from my birth year, I knew only as hearsay, as a Monterey/Carmel tourguide. In fact, I even would point out the wrong house on the 17-Mile-Drive as a Warner Brothers' property where it was filmed, and my (mostly older) tourists would cry out, "Oh, wow!" The themesong I had on CD, playing it for that part of the drive between Bird Rock and the gate to Pacific Grove. Yes, for years I have done all this, yet never bothered to look for the film. Finally, now that I am laid ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
