Imatges de la pel-lícula "Estiu del 42" (Summer of'42) del 1971. Interpretada per Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes, Jerry Houser i Oliver Conant i dirigida per Robert Mulligan. La banda sonora de la pel-lícula va ser composta per Michel Legrand
My mother took me to see the movie when it first came out. I remember it like it was yesterday. I fell in love with Jennifer O'Neil that night at the age of 12 in 1971' (I think it was 71'). Many years later while working as a chauffeur in Dallas/Ft Worth area, I was privileged to have Jennifer as a client one afternoon, just for a one way transfer from the airport. I was so star stuck I literally couldn't get enough moisture in my mouths to speak. That was in the early 90's. Still love her to this day! 💕❗️
With extreme respect and with nothing but honor, Jennifer O'Neil, You're still my favorite actress of all time and you're still a very beautiful person inside and out! Also, thank you for the gracious tip that day! Know you are loved no matter what!
This musical genuis composer died today, at the age of 86. THANK YOU, sir, for your love and dedication . May God welcome you home with open arms.
he did the music for many great films, like The umbrellas of cherburgh
Michel Legrand's music is timeless. I love this version,but the recording of Barbra Streisand is intoxicating.
There is profound sadness when I listen to this piece of music. It reminds me of my youth, lots of carelessness, in taking things for granted, of loves lost and endless rush to do things...none of which, when I think of it, really mattered....in the end. I am leaving the 50s behind this year and am the sadder for it. But, the music also hints at hope...and, as Frost said it best, "I have miles to go before I sleep...". Thanks for the posting..
Are you still alive? Or do you sleep now?
👏👏🇧🇷
You said it beautifully...for a lot of us with the same feelings and memories...Blessings!
❤
I was right there with you...😢 Great memories ☮️
We all had our Summer of '42. Mine was when I was a 20-yr old college student and she was a 42 yr old English professor from Harvard Univ....not my school. I met her at a faculty party where I was working, serving wine. I'm 62 now and she's likely long gone. Her name was Jacqueline and she looked very much like the much loved Jacqueline Kennedy.
Oh yes , I understand for some guys there is nothing like an older woman . I was with a few and it was great , I am now 62 and the older woman is now very old . Oh well , at least I have a few memories.
l'âme de deux êtres n'a pas d'age quand elles se rencontrent
il vous reste vos souvenirs une belle histoire comme le personnage du film
Sounds beautiful! My first was also with an older woman !
I've never had a "Summer of 42"....you are lucky....I guess.
i k i'm late but when i was in college 19yrs, there was this math professor, she was in her 40s mad hot, she liked me , she wasn't married nor had any children, she was very strict i managed to flatter her.
19 YRS OLD WITH OUR LIVES IN FRONT OF US, NOW OVER 50 YRS LATER ITS HARD TO BELEIVE ALL THAT TIME HAS GONE BY
This film was dear to my heart. I had it on VHS in the 70s and I used to watch it alone whenever I needed something to take me to my special world. You know things such as love, summer time, sea side resorts and being a teenager mean a great deal . And the story, Jennifer O'Neill, and the music cemented the rest of it. You see there are certain feelings that are extremely hard to put into words.
I know what you mean about it taking you to a special world. It does the same for me and I've watched it many times just for the atmosphere it brings to me when I need some escapism. I think it probably does that for a lot of people who are fans of it. There was so much attention to detail in the set design, I think that was part of it, you really feel drawn into it. Whatever they used to film it, it was beautifully filmed, so easy on the eyes, like you're in a dream.
@@serenatwilite4005 Yes indeed. How true.
77 and still evokes a constellation of emotions (and sometimes tears)....haunts me still.
THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE,I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE,THIS WAS ME,IN 1974 I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY TEACHER..YAAAH MY SWEETEST MEMORY IN MY LIFE..SOMETIMES I IMAGINE HAVING TIME MACHINE THAT I CAN REWIND TO THAT MOMENT..THANKYOU GOD FOR REMINDING ME TONIGHT WITH THIS SONG..'SUMMER 42..
My mom loved this music and this movie. When I was young she was always asking me to play it at the piano. Now that she has passed away, it is hard to listen to this beatiful music without breaking me down in tears. I love you mom!
I understand your feling
What a lovely memory. When I was a young girl, I played and played the 45 record to a ballet routine.Now I'm the Mom and I still find comfort. THANK YOU FOR THAT
MEMORY
Funny coming to listen to this and, similarly, my mother was a pianist and violinist. I was a dancer and loved this music so much I bought the sheet music. Mum would play it for me and I'd watch her fingers miraculously flying across the keys. I never saw the movie until much later and although some people were offended, I thought it was probably fairly realistic for the time frame of 1942. Thanks (from Australia).
@@Jules-1770 These memories are unforgettable and precious
Lovely to read that tribute to your mom…🌹
Imagine being 72 years old and a movie you did back in 1971 still brings a tear and a smile to millions of boys and men. Jennifer O'Neil stole our hearts and damnit she hasn't given them back .
In those days I was the same age of Hermie. And also lost myself forever...
Beautiful lady, and very classy. I am glad she stole my heart as she did.
50 years ago now when I first sort of saw this movie as with my girl that I later had to buy it on DVD to actually see the movie at that time in a small town 😎
Gary grimes aka Hermie passed away he was 67
Still play this over and over again after a few beers. Young people today don't know the true meaning of the world "emotions." A couple of beers and DAMN! This music is AMAZING! Sorry others don't feel it.
I saw this movie for the first time when I was 18 years old, in 1.986. I loved the film and I fell in love with Dorothy, as everyone. A beautiful soundtrack for a wonderful and unforgetable film. Now, when I am 53, I still can't help watching the movie with tears in my eyes.
A beautiful actress, beautiful music and a beautiful movie.
My story took more than one summer. It was the summer of 1977. I was 16 when I met Penny, she was 30. We eventually worked together as EMT/Paramedic partners on the ambulance for many years (decades).
We were a great team on and off duty, building a successful life together. I knew Penny for 43 wonderful years. We lived together for 30 years, married 15 of them (I was her second husband).
Unfortunately she passed away suddenly in 2020. I can tell you they don't make women like Penny anymore.
I love and miss you my wonderful, wife.
But life goes on.
Saw this at the theater the year it came out. I was 17. Never to be forgotten.
Absolutely stunning actress....this movie melted my soul.
+BIG ED BEVERLY Should have done more movies.
+Brooke Hanley I can think of a type of movie I'd like to see her in lol
This movie is what memories are made of.....I was born in 42, but I have similar memories, oh to be young again!!!!!1
+Bruce Farris If I am not mistaken, the advertisement posters for the movie read "In everyone's life, there is a Summer of 42." Seems to me you are saying exactly the same thing here.
For me, it was the Summer of '63. Summer romance at the beach in FL. 14 years old.
+mk84ldb yes summer of 79 uk heatwave and beach romance very innocent
I think my generation is going to be the least nostalgic. These times aren't very great for creating memories. You're lucky.
In 1940. I'm still young and beautiful. Loved this movie and all of Michel's compositions. So beautiful.
I'm 73 now, and I loved that theme and of course the beautiful Jennifer O' Neil, I hope she's well.x
I grew up in the greater San Antonio area. This theme and movie started making financial and critical waves in the late spring of 1972, both were very popular. One of the two most popular San Antonio AM stations (it was either KTSA or KONO) would do all their time checks as an homage to this movie by saying “KONO Summer of ‘72 time is 4:10”. I remember hearing that while sunbathing in my backyard or hanging around at the pool with the rest of my friends. I knew that it was special and would always know it would be special. Like 40 years later I’d think about that and feel nostalgic. I was right.
We’d be 8th graders that fall. What an incredibly special time to be young and alive and ridiculously in love. Sigh.....
Like another contributor I too watched this movie at the Odeon Leicester Square in 71.Came out utterly washed out with emotion.Especially those words at the end.Part of our lives like a fragment we suddenly stumble on when searching for some other thing in a old jumble drawer.God I fell in love with Jennifer o neil.Couldnt help it.
Mesmerising in all aspects! I absolutely loved this movie.
"In the summer of ’42, we raided the coast guard station four times. We saw five movies, and had nine days of rain. Benjie broke his watch, Oscy gave up the harmonica… and in a very special way, I lost Hermie...forever.”
I was a baby when this came out but I can't stop watching it and listening to the music>>>it's in my soul
Hi Cathy
Nice score...seriously, a well done movie that captures an era and coming of age, in a timeless manner.
A very underrated movie. Jennifer O'Neill was great and still one of the world's most beautiful women ever in my opinion.
In 1971 this was a BIG movie. How underrated??
She has been married nine times. How great can she be?
@@rimshot2270 I bet she's not just great...but massive by now..!
@@trini2830 you are so wrong ..Jennifer is still a natural beauty white hair and all!
@@clairelivefreeordie2551 : I do hope to be wrong for once Claire...! She was one of my first loves...however, let me clarify it for you...I was trying to play with words by describing her not just simply as great, but larger than life, as in massive...cheers
Wonderful movie - I must have seen it 10 or more times . The music is haunting and Jennifer O Neil was simply bewitching.
The movie and it’s score stayed on your mind for years -Legrand
Om shanti
One of the most beautiful sounds.
I watched this movie when I was just a boy and until today, when a listen this soundtrack, it makes me back to a time when everything was possible. Life was simple and the dreams would come true.
I was right there with you...☮️ Memories for life 🩵
Rest in peace Michel LeGrand (1/26/19). Thank you for your great musical compositions. Partial to "Summer of '42, one of the great sound tracks of all time.
One of the greatest.
We need another Michelle Legrand. And others that were popular from that era, including Henry Mancini, etc.
I too, saw this movie in 1971 when it first was released. Watching these clips along with the haunting sound track, brings it all back so vividly! Jennifer O'neill will always have a special place in my heart. Her beauty and her vulnerability completely wiped me out. This is so beautiful!
It was 1971 . I was in London , saw the movie in Odeon Leicester sq . I still have never got over the movie . It created such an impact on me . Jennifer o Neill was spell bounding ...... I was only 17 yrs old
Whatever his age, every man needs a Jennifer O'Neill once in a lifetime to help him grow up. I'm 73 and still hoping.
😊 também. . .
Apesar de eu ter nascido bem depois dos personagens e dos atores, esse foi um dos mais fascinantes filmes que eu já vi em toda minha vida! Depois de anos, essa semana o revi na minha TV box, e continua me fascinando. É um filme atemporal, os conflitos, expectativas e vivências da adolescência, praticamente, ainda são os mesmos. A música do filme é a mais linda e triste q já ouvi no cinema. É perfeita p o contexto. E aquela cena deles dançado e chorando, com essa música de fundo, foi marcante, inesquecível! A expressividade do ator principal, a capacidade de transmitir para o espectador, com o olhar, um turbilhão de sentimentos e emoções, e td isso inteligentemente captado pelo diretor em closes inesquecíveis, fez o filme ainda mais fascinante! Merecia ganhar todos os prêmios aos q foi indicado!
Never could understand why Jennifer O'Neill never became more famous. She was gorgeous and quite a good actress. This was always one of my favorite movies...so bittersweet.
My favorite movie theme. When it was released in 1971, I was the same age as Hermie, so could easily identify with him. Forty-two years have come and gone since this film affected me. College, jobs, family. I had a book published, worked in the theatre, and retired after a long career. No single film or theme has ever had such a profound effect as this movie. In addition I say that American movies, pop culture, music and themes today are nearly all absolute junk. How sad what it is now.
While I enjoy science fiction, I abhor movies which rely on computer generated images, which almost every modern movie has. I prefer movies with human drama. Actors need to have their art well developed when the success of the story depends more on their ability to convey their characters than on special effects.
The film's occasional voiceover was a nice touch, especially at the film's conclusion. I maybe see one film a year: Lincoln, Hidden Figures and now "1917". At my age I don't want my time wasted.
Get off my lawn!
I agree with the innocence of the place in time - simple attraction infatuation and love - if only ....
@@patriciastivala-roberts1869 wow, your if only produced a tear from me .....
What a beautiful film. Saw it and never forgot. May be the story & the musical theme makes it unforgetable.
Wonderful music. Michel Legrand was a genius.
An unbelievably beautiful piece of music that perfectly suits the underlying feeling of the film. The pianist on this recording was superb.
This is/was a gorgeous movie in every way.
Hello Susan how are you
Oh God! I saw this movie in Vietnam. I was a teenager how could so many years have gone away and me not notice?
Thank you for serving...😊😊
When I was young I worked at The Palm Theatre, a movie theater in the small town where I lived in during the early 1970's as an usher/doorman. This movie played a lot during many of the nights that I worked. I found the music very haunting , and I still do. I told my Mother about the movie and I remember her telling me that the year 1942 was very special to her since that was the year that she enlisted in the US Army during WWII. I listen to this melody often, and I remember my beautiful Mom.
Thanks James.
I was in the army a breath of beauty in a nightmare
AGREE ALL mom are beatiful
james mc That’s beautiful James, thank you for sharing that.
I love this music as well. As you may know, or not, Michel Legrand author of this melody and of many others, passed away last night. I am very sad, but happy at the same time that he leaves us his beautiful heritage.
Jennifer O'Neill was 22 when this was shot in 1970.
Gary Grimes was 15.
Wow, this brings tears. Such memories. One of those perfect little films, she was so beautiful, and Legrand - well, nobody better...
Good vid. Now I don't have to watch the movie.
its reminds me of my summer of 92 so beautiful, hearing this after 30 year touches your soul
You don't see films like this or MUSIC like this today...
islezeus Thanks for acknowledging that fact, islezeus. How I wish that this wasn't the case. I so very much enjoy and wallow in movies that touch my heart, soul, and psyche. These were the good 'ol days to say the least!
When the big screen disappeared I think a certain Big Screen mind set disappeared too. As more and more "product" floats through our collective consciousness, the inspiration that drove this period of cinema has also grown less inspired. It reminds me of the final lines of the film "we were different then. kids were different then....."
That is why these classics should be treasured for years to come.
A star Is born
I remember seeing this movie for the 1st time, I’m saddened that they’ll never be this time in my life again, I fell in love with Jennifer O’Neill, still to this day, my heart feels what I felt then whenever I hear or play this music.
The section where the piano fades to background and the strings come to the fore, still brings goosebumps! Brilliant transition and composition!
The most perfect, bittersweet coming of age movie: and the soundtrack just embodies every emotion you live through with Hermie.
You couldn't have put it better.. wow...you write so well.. hat's off..
Who is Hermie lol...laughing at the name, not you
@@4vndd Like my ex bff
At the time I saw it I couldn't care less about Hermie,all I saw was Jennifer,Jennifer....even after years and years seeing the movie for the first time,whenever I found myself on a beach,or in an environment that even remotely recaptured that wooden house I saw her.
exactly. these kind of beautiful movies wll nvr be made again. a couple of scenes from here were slyly copied by other directors later.
i even have it as my profile pic.
gary grimes was also sooo good in this movie
I remember seeing this movie for the 1st time, I’m saddened that they’ll never be this time in my life again, I fell in love with Jennifer O’Neill, still to this day, my heart feels what I felt then whenever I hear or play this music.
For Everything In Life We Take With Us There Is Always Something We Leave Behind
Jennifer O'Neill was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. If you grew up in the 60's and early 70's you no doubt had a crush on her.
I agree, just watched the movie. I had forgotten how much I loved this movie. Jennifer O'Neill was absolutely gorgeous!
agreed, and maybe the only actress at that time who was talented enough to play this role, and very convincingly. she knew what her character was feeling.
Do you remember her Cosmopolitan cover after the movie was made? She was STUNNING!!! I worked with a woman who reminded me of Jennifer in the early 1970's. Miss O'Neill will always be most remembered for this movie.
She always reminded me of Beautiful Sharon Tate only with Dark Hair same Gorgeous features and smile XXX❤️
I'm agree, Lou.
A hauntingly beautiful piece of music
It moves my spirit...
@@michaeldanao6326 it grabs. My soul
Been enjoying it since around 10 at or around '77 or '78.
Such a Classic Movie that was so well done , Her Beauty Will Always be Timeless !
Definitivamente esta es la melodia perfecta para el amor, no puede haber otra y tiene tal sentimiento que te trasporta y te hace soñar.
This movie was about true innocence which is gone today. This is my by far my favorite movie sound track. Still the best music ever
When I first saw this movie I sat looking at the screen hypnotized both by the story the writer was telling, Jenniffer O'Neill's beauty and the incredible music of Michele Legrand. The orchestration of the main theme is gorgeous - pulling you into and through this summer and the emotion of the characters, anxiety, joy, anger, loss, and yet leaving us with a sense of hope. The piano in it's initial runs and through the piece is magnificent as is the playing of the members this orchestra. Amazing.
Hi , a film that returns far back ... very emotional ... I never saw this film ... and I 've never seen her ... Sea ... thank you
Salut, un film qui fait revenir loin en arriere... très émouvant ... Je n'ai plus jamais revu ce film ... et elle, je ne l'ai revu ... Merci
Esse filme foi a minha adolescência onde moro na Barra, um amigo inseparável, onde íamos a praia todos os dias depois das aulas eu com 14 anos, ela com 32, linda, a minha primeira vez, só que não durou 1 verão, duraram 7 verões.
Esse filme marca a minha vida, uma época que não tinha responsabilidades urgentes, só tinha que tirar boas notas, veio a faculdade complicou muito a relação.
Boas lembranças.
Luiz Barbosa A BARRA DA TIJUCA NOS ANOS 60/70 era o sonho duma época.
I saw the movie when i was 10 years old and the music has always been with me.
Ah que saudade do ano de 2017 principalmente do Senai e das amizade que eu fiz naquele lugar e também saudades do núcleo momentos inesquecíveis que não voltam mais essa musica linda me traz lembranças maravilhosas
Excelente musica, no recordaba que fuera de esta pelicula. Hermosisima
I saw "The Summer of '42" in the summer of '71 in San Antonio with a charming girl from Findlay Ohio. That night I fell in love with two beautiful girls, Jennifer O'niell and the lovely girl from Ohio. All I have from that evening is a sweet memory. My gratitude to both ladies.
+ROY PEASLEE That's a beautiful reminiscence.
Dang. That's almost sad.
Thank you Deedee Gee for your comment. It was sad. The heartbreak lasted for years and at 80 I still wonder "what if". Hope you liked the movie, its a classic in my book. All teenage boys should have a summer of 42.
Almost a similar story for me....I was 18 in '71....and she was 38...took me another 20 years to find her again, and when I did, I had my "Summer of 42"....with almost the same ending.....never saw her again, although all I have to do is just close my eyes for a second...you know what I mean...
Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you liked the movie, it is a story that can happen in a boy's life in any year. It just happened to be the year 1942 when it happened for Hermie. I hope you understand what I am writing in English, Je ne parle pas francais .
I saw this amazing movie at summer 2018,I loved it I will remember forever!.🌟💖
JENNIFER O´NEILL is so beautiful and the music is unforgettable!
Ohh I loved this movie and this theme music has always been with me since my scool days.
Somewhere there is someone who forever stole your heart, and you may not even be with them.
:(((((((((((((((
Nice collection...Mahi n Summer of 42...Best music n lyrics
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever. For just a moment you can be in a place of pure love with your best friend. It's passion........it's heart....it's blissful memory filled with fond remembrance for real love. grace 💌
Once you see you see it. You want to see it over and over. For ever.
A most beautiful song that I have always loved but never knew the name, until now. This song is just filled with emotion, longing, even tinges of sadness and longing. What it means to be human❤️
the actual name of the song is "The Summer Knows "
Barbra Streisand sings it here
ruclips.net/video/V5KLOu9V7Y4/видео.html
I'm agree Rachel.
You are right Rachel, it is a beautiful song.
per sebra Thank you!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you.per sebra, I was wondering where that tune originated from. I've been playing this a lot lately.
I saw this movie when I was 14 in 1971 when I was 18 I had the same experience as Hermi
I always feel like my soul belongs to these times even though i was born in the spring of '97. When i was 10 or 11 i always secretly stole the book "Summer of '42" ("En Tatlı Yaz" in Turkish) from my mom's bookcase (secretly because the cover was a little too much improper for my age, there were some sketches of a naked woman) and then i put it back after reading a couple of pages. I used to get so excited when i picture the characters in my mind and feel the love that Hermie feels as i turned the pages. About ten years later i suddenly recalled this book, but i couldn't find it anywhere so i ordered one and read it twice. Then i found out that there's a movie based on this book.
When i first watched it.. it was like a dream, i thought all the cast fit perfectly to their roles, the soundtrack, atmosphere and lines were beyond perfect. Maybe that's the reason why this movie always fills my heart with nostalgia and the bitter excitement of pure, impossible love.
That is beautiful Ozge. You know I love the movie and the story. I am an old soul.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
and nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read and dream of the soft look.
Your eyes had once and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace.
And loved your beauty with love ,false or true.
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you.
And loved the sorrow of your changing face,
And bending down beside the glowing bars.
Murmur a little sadly.How love fled,
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
W.B.Yeats
Very well written
What a beautiful story, a piece of life !
Ja totaal gelijk ,de 60 en 70 waren een godsgeschenk voor jonge kinderen om in op te groeien,wat is het allemaal bergafwaarts gegaan met de wereld waarin we leven!
RIP Michel Legrand. Un merveilleux compositeur nous a quittés. Nous ne pourrons jamais l'oublier, tant ses mélodies sont intemporelles et
magnifiques.
Good Night Michel. Sadly, you are gone, however, your music will live forever and ever. Rest in peace.
Thanks for posting! Touch your soul down to the bottom (if it exists). Thanks Michel Legrand!
I should have shown this film to Dad, before he passed.
I think he might have loved it. He lived through those years,
as a young man. (He fought in WW2, just out of College.)
John, he would have loved it. It hits all of us who lost our innocence between adolescence and adulthood. The book is better than the movie. But both are worth taking in. Best wishes.
MrAiredales Yes, missed out on this...! During the last 3 years of his life we spent much time watching movies. He loved high brow romantic fair, especially with perhaps a melancholic or ironic element added. How his exact story went down I have no idea, but yes, those were his years.
Great thoughts. Thanks. Best to you and your family!
I was a kid when this movie came out and saw it at the drive in theater. After that it was one of those tv matinee movies you just couldn't get away from. The theme music was classic though, brought me right back to those feelings of how mortifyingly dumb those kids were LOL.
I remember seeing this at the show. The theme was beautiful and haunting. Jennifer O’Neill just sparkled in the film.
In 1972 i was 5 years of age and never ever forgot this beautiful love tune 🎶 I always remembered it and as I got older looked for this song and now In my 50s I’m still here ❤️
if he were a real person hed be about 90 now you sort of just look through and past old people without realizing all the experiences theve had things theve seen and that they were young once and lived full lives
daniel klodt Who is "He?" Hermie? "Summer of '42" is a true story, from the life of Herman Raucher, who wrote the screenplay and also the sequel, "Class of '44." All he did was fudge the timeline a bit, but the story you see did happen.
Houmatt anyone in the movie I suppose that was 73 yrs ago
87 and he is still alive. Author Herman Raucher.
+rayva1 wow!!! well good for him!
Hermie is a real person, this is a true story.
Merci Monsieur Legrand pour vos magnifiques compositions! Bon voyage
Even from these photographs, you can tell the light went out in her eyes when she lost her guy. I saw this movie as an pre-teen and the music blew me away. ..also read the book a few times. Always felt kinda sorry for Hermie.
This song makes me cry...No one can no the magnitude of that loss until you experience it first hand..What he did for her was so amazing and beautiful, these days she'd be locked up...But to me, this is such a beautiful story and even though Hermie was the most hurt, he was also the hero, he sent her heart on it's way to healing.
Reanie Demumbrum jui
I can really identify with Hermie. I wanna feel sorry for him but I can't. I am actually so happy for him. He found out how to love early on . He developed a mature character after that summer . I think everyone of us fell in love with another person that we couldn't be with anyway. Our lives are in stages . Hermie just happened to have a great summer that year. Probably the best summer he will ever have outside of his first year of marriage maybe.
Hey Donna. How come you always felt kinda sorry for Hermie? I was Hermie once- some 37 years ago...
Some I guess would call it "Puppy love" perhaps. At one time in my young life I was in that very same situation. Seemed very real to me and yet very wrong. As with most things in life my fairy tale love came to an end and I moved on. Albeit I learned a very valuable life lesson....Peace
Grande tema! Enorme compositor Michel Legrand!
One of my favorite movies. A lovely coming of age movies. A gentle way to lose one's virginity.
Ayer nos dejaba el genial pianista y compositor francés Michel Legrand, tenía 86 años, años llenos de música como este maravilloso "Summer of 42" de 1971, que le dio el Oscar, el BAFTA y un Grammy. Solo una muestra de la música de este parisino; Michel Jean Legrand, que consiguio muchos más premios como estos por sus bandas sonoras para "The Thomas Crown Affair", "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" o "Yentl". DEP. #instrumental
Jennifer O'Neills beauty ..depth ..the teen enthralled made for just a splendid story. ..so easy for men to fall in love with Jennifer....Michael Legrands music ..heartfelt. Tearing of heart actually. Loved this movie...
Músicas maravilhosas QUE me fazem recordar grande amor da minha vida, Paulo Motta.
Hallo
The picture of Jen in her white outfit is so amazingly beautiful it makes me long for younger days
Still one of best movies, I watched.
My mum was born in the summer of ‘42. She loved this and I loved her. 😢
Your mom had great taste in music buddy!
The song remains me of my best friend who passed away in 1994.
a beautiful theme song, filled with a deep longing, and deep sorrow that fit this movie perfectly. a story of a young teenage boy, just barely 15 or 16 years old, and a young married, and lonely woman, her husband gone to battle in WW2, like hundreds of thousands of young men from the USA had, and he would never return. when she learns of her husbands death, her crushed hope, grief, utter despair, and loneliness causes her to seek some kind of consolation in bedding this eager and willing boy, and then she leaves town, without a goodbye.
when I first saw this masterpiece, I was 17, and I was quite surprised by the fact that the movie actually "went there", with the young woman, and the teenage boy. this was considered a bit scandalous at that time, at least in Roman Catholic circles. but as I got older, and experienced my own heartbreaks and deep despair, I understood this story completely. the human heart is confused and tortured at times like this. And whose to say that there was anything scandalous about her actions? her husband had been killed in battle, and the teenage boy certainly didn't regret his encounter with her.
Feeling bring back to old memories..😪😪
And sad.. 😔 😟 🙁
Not returning our past..
Was there ever a woman more beautiful than Jennifer O'Neill ? How could there be ??? Just look at that smile --a classic Irish beauty. Wolfsky9

b52gf16c For sure. surprised she did not do more movies. She was exceptional.
The people below have said it all. I was 24 in 1971 I'll always treasure those early years in my life although not 17 year old kid the movie and the music had the same effect on me at 24. Such a great nostalgic film and the film score just perfect.Gordon Swindon
... Jennifer O'Neill...the stuff of dreams!!!!
OlymPigs2010 She was very beautiful in this.
OlymPigs2010 when women still acted like proper ladies.
Beautiful and poignant writing that captured the innocence of her character and Hermie and great performances too. Plus it didn't hurt to be young hen- a great film that still touches me all these years later.
Yep, callouses all over your right palm .....
@@rayva1 michel Legrand was a genius and produced many beautiful themes for films. At 80 he married the love of his jeunesse Macha Merill actress of Russian origin.. he died happy!!!!!!
Jennifer O'Neil is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She was the perfect person for this role to speak to someone at that age. The theme of this is haunting yet exciting all at the same time.
This was the movie to see, when I was 15. At 64, it takes on a totally different meaning. Michel Legrand wrote some beautiful music.
I had the same experience when I was 17 years old. I fell in love with a married woman who was in the thirties and she has the most beautiful blue eyes ever and the most beautiful smile.
Buddy, you hit it right on the head. In today's society, everything is about blatant, gratuitous sex and violence. But when something like the Summer of 42 comes along, people attempt to categorize it as "adult hot for young person". They miss the point. Love can hit anywhere and any time. And as wonderful as love is, it sometimes steals innocence away. But it's beautiful in it's own way.
Wish she had stolen my innocence. She had a sweetness to her beauty.
Absolutely Amazing
Robert Mulligan has captured the essence of the story of Hermie very precisely. He often lets the faces speak and you know everything. He made it awesome. Today's films consist mostly only of dialogues! Not here! Also that the haunting music stops with the record and you then only hear the scratching and then the waves of the sea ... the absence of the music of Legrand and this effect! And Gary Grimes, what a great actor. It always touches me to see him and Jennifer O'Neill. The movie has a great magic ...What else is there to say? Coffee is exquisite. Exquisite. Laughter becomes you!
This music makes my heart ache.
Hello Rebecca how are you
