Reviews:

The Venice of “Summertime,” in the Piazza San Marco, is indeed unique
Jane Hudson (Katherine Hepburn), a middle-aged American school teacher, arrives in Venice, fulfilling a lifelong dream On her first evening, she has an encounter with Mauro, an enterprising little street child, who becomes her unofficial escort But in the evening, while seating in a crowded café, she sees a handsome man in a gray flannel suit… Her first instinctive reaction was to oppose, pay the bill, escape, and keep out of sight…

The next evening, she sits alone to take a drink in the Piazza San Marco, but with a wandering eye As the violins begin playing ‘Summertime in Venice’, Jane would turn away in a heart beat to see Renato passing by To hide her anxiousness, she inclines the chair next to her, pretending that she is expecting a company… Jane has come to Venice to find a handsome, unmarried hero of her dreams… But she is furious and resentful… She really can’t understand what she is doing…

The most advantageous thing about David Lean’s ‘Summertime’ is its sensitive portrait of the loneliness that holds back the fancy secretary, a desperately single heroine whose search for romance and adventure is prevented less by cultural differences than by her own feeling defenses…

Hepburn is a pleasant tourist with great magnetism… Rossano Brazzi is too powerful, tempting and charming as Renato, the Venetian who couldn’t catch a fallen white gardenia in one of the canals of his town

One of the finest love stories I’ve ever seen.
Ms. Hepburn portrayed the many stages of love so convincingly that it is difficult to remember it’s just a movie.

One of the most appealing aspects of this film is that both she and her co-star are in their middle years. Their ability to show the blossom of new love and all the “ubbly, bubbly” feelings/emotions that go along with it are excellent examples of great acting.

These days, Hollywood seems to believe that only teen or pre-teen love stories have any box-office appeal. For the most part, the acting is secondary to the amount of skin they reveal throughout the flick.

If you haven’t seen this movie in the past 10 years, it’s definitely a film to check-out again.
