Katherine Hepburn has a moving starring role in this 1955 film as an American woman falling in love on her vacation to Venice. The characters are very interesting to watch. I was quite surprised by the splashes of red shown suggesting sensuality. It is as if we are watching what the character has filmed on her holiday as she looks back. Anyway, the cast must have had a great time filming in such a beautiful city.
I could save a lot of time by watching the movie rather than reading the synopsis.
A truly gorgeous film; a love letter to Venice, and Katharine Hepburn, who is radiant as a lonely American traveler abroad for the first time in her life.
What a heart-breakingly sad performance! What a spot-on portrayal of the city of Venice!
One of my all-time favourite movies. I love it even more than Brief Encounter - though that is, no argument from me, a better movie - I just find Summertime so... lyrical and beautiful and Hepburn is... so fucking delightful. I love this movie. It's great. ... Great. The technicolor photography is ... great? More greats? I don't know: great, great, great.
