This is the best films that I have a seen.The Cinematography is incredible.David lien is incredible All his films are a wonderful. A great film for all the entire family All will enjoy

I wanted to like this because of David Lean and Hepburn, but it was boring and not worth a second watch. Besides her work with Spencer Tracy - definitely see her in African Queen and Lion in Winter !

The Golden Hollywood movie "Summertime" is magic, with the impeccable actors Katharine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi. A definite must see movie, one that the whole family will enjoy. Beautiful scenery, amazing acting, wonderful story... You can't get any better than 1950's Hollywood.

Hepburn is achingly vulnerable in her role as a "spinster" in her 50's, longing for love and romance on her solo European tour. The storyline might seem a bit outdated by modern standards, but most people can relate to loneliness and Jane Hudson is lonely. A "glorified secretary" (her description) from Akron, Ohio, she yearns for a romantic adventure during her stay in the most romantic of cities, the incomparable Venice, which she gets - with a twist. It is that twist and how the film addresses it that makes this movie very much ahead of its time. David Lean's direction is masterful, and Venice never looked lovelier - a must see, whether one is a Hepburn fan or not. I'm not a fan of some of her film portrayals, but this one is, I believe, her best.
