MCT:April 28, 2008Fine high school nostalgia picture - more subdued than similar, more popular films, and perhaps the only "coming-of-age" story I find tolerable.

MCT:November 27, 2007A YOUNG TEEN BOY COMES OF AGE! A WELL DONE CLASSIC FILM. A LITTLE RACEY AND SEXY FOR IT;S TIME BACK THEN JENNIFER O NEAL STARS.

MCT:November 19, 2007(1971 Director: Robert Mulligan) One of my personal favorites! Sure it's teens away for the summer, etc. but this was not written to be an "American Pie" or merely a top dollar grossing 'GROSSOUT' flick! some real depth to this one!

I don't know what it is about these coming-of-age flicks that I like so much, but this was anohter winner for me. This time, Gary Grimes is the lucky bugger who has the summer "fling" with the older woman. Lots of charm and sentimentality.

Wish my teen years had me enjoying adventures like this. I suppose I would rather have not had the threat of war hanging over me but the thrill of the older woman kept me interested in this movie for a couple of years.

I'm not sure if I ever saw this film all the way through, but everyone loved the theme song from this film.

MCT:July 22, 2007Not my type of movie, especially considering how old it is. Anyway, although it may not be a great movie, it is still a great tale of a group of boys who are entiring into manhood.

Small, poetic, airy. It's like a song for the big screen. While it may not be a GREAT movie, it's sure tasteful and it sticks with you for a while. If the whole movie had been like the masterful final scenes, it might have been excellent. Because the night visit scene, I must say, is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen: it's so emotionally honest, and quiet (for no words are ever necessary in real life) that you just can't help feeling taken by it. Sometimes the film is quite ordinary, but here it's wonderful.

one of the best summer movies, that truly takes you out of your seat and places you in the shoes of Hermie in the Summer of '42

it's autobiographical, so obviously this guy herman is going to make himself out to look better than he really was, but that said it's quite a nice movie.

MCT:March 25, 2007had all the ingredients of an unforgettable tale.
one of the little jewels of the Golden 70's films. -

"...no person Ive ever known has ever made me feel more sure, more insecure, more important & less significant." Major childhood fav. Luv Hermie always.

Every teenage boys dream looking at dirty books, coping a feel and having a girlfriend during the summer months. Jennifer ONeill is hot in this movie set during WWII and is a modern classic.

Ya know, I saw this a very long time ago when I was like 17 or 18, and I liked it then, but I'm sure it had some very naughty stuff in it.
