Editorial Review:

Description:
Illicit romance take center stage when a wealthy family set off for a summer seaside vacation.

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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - TOOK ME RIGHT BACK TO MY TEEN YEARS!
This is one of my favorite movies and it brought back all of the memories of being in love with Troy Donahue. My daughter watched it with me and thought it was a great movie, too, so its greatness has withstood the sands of time. So happy to find it in DVD and the quality was extremely good.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Video purchase
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.
