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

Young love is always special. This is a real tear jerker with a happy ending. I was glad that I ordered this movie. Thanks again.

Peace and Blessings,

This is exactly what I was looking for. It was a gift for a friend who remembers the movie from her teenage years and never got to see it again. I decided that this year for her birthday, I would purchase it, along with another I also purchased from Amazon. It came really quick and I was able to wrap it and put in a greeting card and still mail it off to her on time for her birthday. Thanks so much. I plan to shop here often.

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.
