wonderful time

I was the production sound mixer on this film and have some wonderful memories,stories and photos to go with the experience.Mr Fonda was an actor's actor,a true gentleman and master of the craft.Ms Loy was as charming and as beautiful in her seventies as she was in any of the films of her youth.They had never worked together until this film and that was one of the reasons they did it,to have that opportunity. Steven and Lindsey were also a joy to work with.It was a great casting job,with two young actors that matched their elder counterparts. Sad to say I think we will probably not see a DVD release since it's so short and no one knows what sales would be like. Hope I'm wrong.I'd love to own a copy. Never know.

memories everlasting

this is one of the most powerful depiction of two people in love for a quote of, until death do us part. more touching than i could ever imagine. for many years i have waited for a production to be released to the public. a must to see for all couples readying to take their vows or have taken them. at my age i don't remember everything, but i still remember this movie like it was yesterday.it's at the beach, when i look out over the water and i see the movie playing, that my love for my best friend grows stronger. the hard times and the good times are so well portrayed in this movie, that i use some of the lessons learned in my

life today. this movie shows that life may be at times very tormenting, but the love and union of two people can be stronger than any hurdle put before two people that sanction as one. i do hope this movie will be on the market soon, for our new generations to see.

My All Time Favorite Movie

Though exaggerated in some instances for dramatic effect, this film encompasses many of the phenomena that middle class Americans experience through out their life cycle. It is somewhat fantastic, however, the basic reality is inescapable.

I found the assorted vignettes drove my emotions across the continuum from utter hilarity to absolute despair. No other movie has given me such an emotional roller coaster ride.

This movie is truly a sleeper and it's a shame that more people have not had the pleasure of experiencing it.

Must Find A Copy!

I am so happy to hear all of your wonderful comments! I MUST FIND A COPY OF SUMMER SOLSTICE! My father was the stylist for this movie and many others. He is almost 80 yrs old now and recently retired from hair styling. His career was full of movie stars, local Boston celebrities, presidents wives and rock stars. I am going through boxes full of old scripts, photos he took on movie sets, newspaper clippings etc and I really want to put a scrapbook together to be passed on to the next generations. To complete that, I am buying DVDs of the movies and TV shows he worked on. Does anyone know how I can obtain a copy of Summer Solstice? If you do, I have a funny story about Henry Fonda and my dad to tell!

Great movie, sans doubt

This was a fantastic movie. Period. I grew up very close to Cape Cod and can definitely sympathize with the characters and their beliefs/attitudes. I won't spoil this with parts I liked best, but I have to say that the back and forth through time was sadly enjoyable. To put a human's face on this great land and the traditions and future expectations of its inhabitants was just amazing. This is not just another sappy love story, it is much more than that. It is a story about change, about old vs. young, about the things in life that really matter. It reminds us that older people were once young, vibrant, and full of life, and as such, should always be treated with respect. I'm a man, but was not afraid to cry at the end of this movie. Very very few movies evoke emotion to this scale in me, and this is definitely one of them. I highly recommend this movie, especially for those who live on or near Cape Cod or any seashore for that matter :-)

Zitate
Ranger: Sorry folks - can't be there!
Joshua: [to Margaret] We can't be here.
Margaret: Must be somewhere else instead!
Ranger: Ah, didn't you see me wave?
Margaret: We waved back.
Ranger: Well, didn't you see the sign?
Joshua: What sign?
Ranger: Erosion control.
Joshua: You mean, we're eroding so we can't be here?
Margaret: Oh, Dear, don't tease him, he thinks you mean it.
Joshua: I do mean it.
Margaret: You look dazzling in that uniform! Why don't you join us in some wine?
Ranger: You're not allowed to drink alcohol here either.
Joshua: You know a man my age has very few pleasures left.
Ranger: I'm sorry. You'll have to stop.
Joshua: I've been saying that for years!
Ranger: Ah, look, could we discuss this over on the boardwalk? It's bad for the dunes.
Joshua: Walking on them?
Ranger: Wears them out.
Joshua: Wears me out. I doubt it wears them out.
Ranger: Sir, I don't want to argue with you...
Joshua: Good!
Ranger: The geological facts are that every time someone walks on the dunes, their footprints leave a slightly greater depression in the sand. They gouge out these exposed paths and before you know it, you've got what we call a "Blow out".
Ranger: Heavens!
Joshua: How long have you been on this seashore?
Ranger: Three months.
Joshua: We've walked on this beach for over fifty years. We've seen erosion plans come and go and they always fail - and you know why? Because erosion is a natural state of Cape Cod. As it is with everything else here. Have some wine.
Ranger: Sorry. Rules are rules.
Joshua: Yes, rules certainly are that - and nothing else.
Ranger: You gonna cooperate?
Joshua: Just don't shoot. We'll come peacefully.
Ranger: Thank you.
[he gets up to leave]
Joshua: Be careful where you step.
[to Margaret]
Joshua: Power hungry!
Margaret: Must be the artist in you.
Joshua: What do you mean?
Margaret: You always seem to clash with authority figures.
Joshua: Oh, that's nothing. You inspired that, long ago.
Margaret: Oh!
