Summer of '42 (1971)
Country: US
Technical: col 103m
Director: Robert Mulligan
Cast: Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes
Synopsis:
Three adolescents enjoy their summer vacation on Nantucket during WW2, hoping to lose their virginity soon. The quietest of them begins a tentative relationship with the wife of a pilot who is away fighting.
Review:
In this nostalgic and poignant drama we remain insulated from the war by the intimacy of the action, thus experiencing the delicate first blooms of love as it were first hand, but also like a reminiscence. Understated, and with a vivid sense of time and place, like Mulligan's other great films.
