L'affaire d'un tueur

This movies was so very cool, wry, challenging, ahead of it's time. Young man gets into a escalating war of nerves/ competition with the haughty, ubber mench father of his summer girlfriend, Things get very out of hand. It's a shame this is not out on a loaded DVD; maybe with Robert Wagner's star glistening on high someone will pop it out. Hope so- it's BRILLIANT. I would cast Tobey MaGuire and Dennis Farina in the remake. Chris Browne

What a shame that "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" is not available on video. As other's have mentioned, in the "good old days" our local UHF-TV outlets would play it a few times a year. Now one is a home shopping outlet and the other a UA affiliate that rarely plays movies.

This is one of those "B" movies with Austin Powers and Derek Flint appeal. It was made when I was only 14 years old and it was very cool (or "tough" as we would say) to see Jill St.John lounging on the deck of a yatch and Robert Wagner save himself by being able to hold his breath longer than anyone else.

Well, maybe when all of media is databased, digitized and archived, some company will let me download a copy for $10.

A chic, smart thrill ride of a flick full of cat and mouse, cross and double-cross with a clever and satisfying ending. I was 15 when I first saw this film and until today remembered it as a theatrical release--it was that good. It was a major topic of conversation at school the day after it aired.

Looking back, it puts me in mind of "The List of Adrian Messenger", another underrated, forgotten masterpiece. Hope springs eternal that it might be discovered and aired again but I'm doubtful. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the 1997 film of the same name (but entirely different story) listed on my satellite guide but quickly learned it was a completely different movie. I'd LOVE to see the 1967 flick again.

I'm so glad to see that others agree with me that this may well be one of the greatest films ever made. It is absolutely brilliant as an unwinding tale of suspense and intrigue. I think that I've seen this movie 5 times over the years on TV, but have never caught it on tape. Most of the times, I saw it was before I had a VCR about 1980. Maybe, we could get AMC to show this true classic. The casino scene was one of the most chilling scenes that I've ever seen. So many great scenes in this film.

I remember seeing this film as a 12-year-old and being blown away by it. I probably haven't seen it for 20 - 25 years, but I can still recall much of it and would love to see it again. I'm a bit hesitant to call it a "forgotten masterpiece", but it sure was a good piece of entertainment, with shades of James Bond and 1984. See it if you can!
