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

I didn't especially enjoy this movie. It was too sad and the relationship between families was unfortunate.
So glad you are a source for classic films April 25, 2009

Wonderful movie and so happy to find it here. Sorry it was packaged so badly that it arrived in rattling-around-the-packaging scratched condition and unviewable. But Amazon sent a perfect replacement quickly. Sorry I paid for the fast shipping on the first one, which was uncredited. But, Amazon did respond quickly and most likely forwarded my remarks about packaging.
I cannot remark about the difference in FILM vs. DVD recorded items. We can no longer be fussy about this, I think, and I am just glad that someone is preserving these classic films.
 Its An Okay Movie April 24, 2009
R. Davis (God Bless Texas, USA)
The Reason I Gave This Product A Four Star Rating Instead Of A Five Is Because I See How Some Parts In It Are Some What Trashy. However, Because Of The Storyline And The Idea Of The Movie, I Also See Why These Parts Were Included In This Movie. Over All It Is An Okay Movie.
