    Editorial Reviews

    Katharine Hepburn stars as Jane Hudson, an Ohio secretary on the verge of spinsterhood. Carefully saving her money, Jane takes an extended trip to Venice, half hoping to find the romance that has always eluded her. Luck of luck, she meets handsome Renato Di Rossi (Rossano Brazzi), who sweeps her off her feet. Jane's flight on Cloud Nine comes to a flaming crash when she learns that Renato is married and the father of a large family. Picking herself up and dusting herself off, Jane is determined to keep her romance alive, and hang the consequences. She ultimately does what's best for everyone, and heads back to Ohio, wistfully clutching to the memory of the happiest summer of life. Gorgeously color-photographed on location by Jack Hildyard, Summertime was an adaptation of (and vast improvement upon) Arthur Laurents' play The Time of the Cuckoo. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    March 19, 2003: After you watch Summertime you will have to make the trip to Venice for yourself. Hepburn and Brazzi are just wonderful...you'll wish you were Jane Hudson falling in love with Renaldo in the magical city of Venice. Everytime I watch it ( and I've seen it about 100 times) I hope they stay together forever in the City of Love....but she does the ''sensible'' thing and returns to her job and life in the states...but boy do you wish she would stay, it had a somewhat sad ending for me. Watch this movie just for the beautiful display of Venice!!

    November 24, 2001: A wonderful romantic love story. Hepburn and Brazzi give great performances, but the real star of the film is Venice.
