Summer of 42, a Timeless Classic of true Love
I saw this film with my dad at the long-gone Surf Theater on 74th Street and Collins Avenue on Miami Beach as a sneak preview. The theater was packed and I was 13 years old and three girls in their early 20s sat next to us, and I was a little red-faced about the movie. But, what a truly beautiful and romantic film. I always thought that my “first” love would be like the Summer of 42. Unfortunately in my case it wasn’t. I joined the Army and had my “first” experience with a B-girl(bar-girl) overseas. It wasn’t until I was 25 that I think I really had the “love feelings” that were shown in this timeless classic. A great film with outstanding performances by all involved. Really a shame that Gary Grimes and Jerry Houser never achieved the super stardom they deserved. And Jennier O’Neal was so beautiful. She was all-natural, so fresh, so down-to-earth. The Summer of 42 is great.
