Summertime

"David Lean’s lush adaptation of Arthur Laurents’ play The Time of the Cuckoo is a love letter to Venice. It is also Katherine Hepburn’s best film of the 1950s." – The Harvard Film Archive "Lean’s personal favorite among his own films, Summertime is an exquisitely tender evocation of the magic and melancholy of a fleeting, not-quite-fairy-tale romance." – The Criterion Collection An American spinster’s dream of romance finally becomes a bittersweet reality when she meets a handsome—but married—Italian man while vacationing in Venice. Katharine Hepburn’s sensitive portrayal of the lonely heroine and Jack Hildyard’s glorious Technicolor photography make Summertime an endearing and visually enchanting film.
