Summer Lovers | Year: 1982 Classification: Drama Directed: - Randal Kleiser Actors/Actresses: - Peter Gallagher - Daryl Hannah the magic 80's Summer lovers, actually one of the best movies I have ever seen. After seeing this movie about 30 times, i still smile from ear to ear when Michael, Cathy and Lina dances to the great disco hit; Your love, by Lime. The magic of the movie is made by the music and ofcourse the beautifull views of santorini. one thing though, why isn't the soundtrack possible to get. It has been sold in stores back in the days, but has probably gone out of production. This would be the best collection of 80's music ever to be collected on one cd. SO PLEASE, IF ANYONE HAS IT OR KNOWS HOW TO GET IT, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT christiandahll@hotmail.com Summer Lovers This movie is in my all time top 20 that I love to watch when I am feeling blue. An irristable movie about two college students, on summer break in Greek Isles. Shortly after arriving on Santorini they meet gorgeous French paleontologist and a menage a trois begins. Michael, Cathy and Lina spend their days in the sun and fun and you will wish you were with them. Just when you think you know what will happen you don't. Summer lovers has it all. From the beautiful blue Agean waters and white washed houses of Santorini,to the extrodinary scenes of the Greek ruins. Beautiful men and woman and a menage a trois that is both happy and sad. Some of the best music of the 80's. I have checked high and low for a copy of this CD and is has been out of production for long time. Please, If anyone knows where I could get a copy please contact me at mhaddad45@aol.com. Beautiful Fantasy and Tribute I love how this movie takes you away to a Greek Isle for a fantasy summer of fun, with a nice soundtrack and beautiful people as well. What a nice tribute this DVD is to Valerie Quennessen, who tragically died just a few years after filming "Summer Lovers." She is so gorgeous and so much fun that I can only hope she was like Lina in real life. She will always be my fantasy girl. lighthearted and fun Summer Lovers is a fun little film about a young couple on vacation in the Greek islands. Michael (Peter Gallagher) and Cathy (Daryl Hannah) are on a Summer vacation after college graduation and his father's death, and are apparently headed for engagement and marriage. Michael encounters and is uncontrollably drawn to Lina (Valerie Quennessen), a French Archeologist working at a dig nearby. What follows is a light but well handled exploration of the complications that ensue when passion and love collide with society's rules and expectations. What could have easily ended up as just another shallow movie sex romp actually does some justice to the theme of adults exploring new relationship territory and the power of overcoming one's barriers. Although lighter and not in the same league as "Same Time Next Year," it is still a good movie and a fun but somewhat thoughtful look at unusual relationships. It does not follow the expected Hollywood pattern, and I like that. (Can't say more without spoiling it.) I disagree that it is bubble-brained and predictable. The story isn't any sillier than the plot of Casablanca or the Wizard of Oz, just not quite the same caliber. The story is well told, dialog is okay, and the characters are believable. The scenery is gorgeous and well photographed, and the film is much more enjoyable on DVD than it was when I first saw it on cable and on VHS. The details in the scenes and sound track are much better. I caught much more subtlety in the photography on the DVD. I loved the footage of the beautiful whitewashed Greek buildings and the ocean. There are nude beach scenes and some other nudity, but it is relevant to the time, location, and situations of the characters. This is a love story about sexy young people on vacation in the Mediterranean, after all. The sound track is late 70s to early 80s pop (Prin s later as Sam inadvertently returns home to find himself enmeshed in a web of lust, murder, duplicity, dark childhood secrets and intrigue when now-husband-and-wife Martha and Walter naturally (but mistakenly) believe he has returned back and gone to see Walter--who's also D.A. due to his wife's power and influence--not to get his conv d it screwed up two times! This movie was boring-all it had was people running around-and the plot didnt even go no fferent route. A very small pet peeve is the American logo for the show, a horrific c d of the rear speakers. That gentle bitch aside, the deleted scenes are mixed (why on Earth Jones thought anyone would want to see more of Mr. Creosote is beyond me?) and clearly wisely hit the cutting room floor (especially the horrendously unfunny Ma The hosery scene in the first few minutes, the transvestitism, and the sick-in-bed sequence are all grotesquely hyper-realistic. The backstage scene is incredible, and again very strange. There NumMedia>2 Buy Summer Lovers at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
