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.

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.

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!

Unforgettable film should be re-released.

I saw this movie when it originally aired in 1981 and found it to be one of the most touching and powerful stories I have ever seen. I can't believe that it has been neglected all these years and is not even available to be viewed on tape or DVD. I believe it was the last movie that Henry Fonda ever made (at least for TV). That fact alone should have been a reason to make it more available. I only hope that the film will shown in the future. I, myself, would buy it in a heartbeat! Why is it that some films that have absolutely no socially redeeming value seem to be available on every format and can be purchased or rented with endless possibilities and yet a film like this one has to be sought out through "rare" venues. I don't get it.

Very Lucky To Have Recorded This!

This one of my favorite Henry Fonda movies. Myrna Loy is excellent in this one. I think this is the only time these two great stars worked together.

If this is so, it's a shame. They were very good in this. I got the feeling while watching that there wasn't much acting here. Usually, this is bad. But, not here. This was a very natural performance.

I was lucky enough to catch in on HBO. And very lucky to have recorded it on DVD!

I don't think this will ever see release on DVD. Which is a shame. This is some of the best work either Myrna Loy or Henry Fonda ever did. I'm surprise it was on HBO at all. I suspect it was used as filler.

But, what a great way to spend an hour!

Citas
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!
