I was eleven when I watched this near Bryan college station Texas with my father. Madisonville TX

Magnificent movie and even more magnificent music. Compare this to the unspeakable dross inflicted on us today.

A capella o con musica Barbra es inigualable

Hello Summer 2024

The sound of the waves rolling in and out is the perfect background for this scene.

Il y avait déjà des choses à creuser

On a pas compris à l’époque mais déjà des parapluies de Cherbourg et la suite nous mettez sur des pistes il y avait des messages qu’on a pas décrypter. Bon moi je m’excuse parce que j’étais trop jeune

Michel ❤...

i am not crying you are

Herman Raucher died on Dec. 28, 2023! R.I.P. Hermie.

When casting for the role of Dorothy, Warner Bros. declined to audition any actresses younger than the age of 30; Jennifer O'Neill's agent, who had developed a fondness for the script, convinced the studio to audition his client, who was only 22 at the time. O'Neill auditioned for the role, albeit hesitantly, not wanting to perform any nude scenes. O'Neill got the role and Mulligan agreed to find a way to make the film work without blatant nudity.

Leur complicité, leur voix, leur délicatesse...magique.

Didn’t think such a simple movie would start so many pissing contests. Congrats Peeps 😂

Toujours les frissons, à chaque fois

Really well made film, perfectly cast and directed, hitting all the right emotional notes. Just one small criticism. The present day Hermie has a thick NY accent, unlike his younger self. Seemed obvious.

Everyone has a summer of 42 !

You left out the most important part...how many more arm feels did you get??

It'll be OK Hermie...Really....You'll go on to write a great script, sell it, and a fabulous movie will be produced. Best of all you will get points on the gross for the rewrite where you never have to work another day in your life.

I'm choked up now with tears in my eyes as I was when I saw it as a youngster about his age. It has touched generations of us and will always be remembered.

One of my favorite movies growing up in the 70's...one of my favorite movies now...

A fantastic movie with very good acting.

Αριστουργημα

“It took us longer to understand the things we felt.” At least that generation could feel. So many of us now can’t anymore.

so many young men never came back home from the war.

Talking about a coming of age movie! Summer of 42 was it for me.

The Osky character ruined the film.

IRL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_%2742 they did not have sex. The movie was based on a memoir of the author - about what actually happened to him IRL that summer when he was 14 years old. She had gotten the telegram of her husbands death. She was drunk before he got there. She was calling him by her husbands name and they "disrobed" but what happened was him holding her and comforting her in her grief. The movie was intentionally vague and given the way that it was common for movies to "cut away" from a romantic moment so as to imply that they then did have sex - that wasn't what happened here In Real Life. The impression I have of this - is that it was possible that they *_COULD_* have had sex - but in the end - they didn't. The loss of her husband and her intoxication - led to her _needing_ to be comforted and accepting being comforted physically - but - may have also precluded them actually having sex. _My Guess_ (and that's all it is) is that the kid just didn't want to take advantage of her grief - so even if he could have fucked her - he didn't do it. To sum it up - she'd just found out her husband was dead and badly wanted someone to hold her - but that's all it ended up being. One thing about the Summer of '42 IRL was that the real casualty producing events of the war were just getting started. Watching this guy cavorting with his wife - I'd say he had no idea of the Meat Grinder he was headed into. That summer - nobody did. Later on - especially after Normandy - the Meat Grinder that had been winding up - really got going for the US. Another thing - is - that her husband being there in the Summer of '42 - his chances of survival were slim. The Meat Grinder was just getting started - because we hardly had anyone there yet - but a high percentage of those that were there - were pretty much doomed. This kid - being 14 in '42 - would have been about 17 when the ware ended. Thus - with his parents permission (or lying about his age) he might have been able to get into the military if he'd really wanted to - but - he would not have been drafted as they didn't draft people below the age of 18. .

On a besoin d'eau....merci rangez vos parapluies....

is she a writer???

the sex wasnt the purpose of Hermie being there that night, he was just trying to comfort Dorothy because she had just gotten the telegram telling her that her husband had been killed, the dancing and hugging they did led to him MAKING LOVE to her that night,,not just having sex, he loved her and cared about her, this wasnt Porkys or THE Last american virgin.this. was decent,Herman Raucher wrote that book based on his life, im class of 1973 when young people still had real feelings for others past excited body parts and if you cant understand it ,then pl;ease dont watch it and then make those ignorant comments, i saw the film once but have read the book many times, worth the read. and watch.

A poignant movie about a friendship between a teenager and a young, military wife who became a War Widow. She was one of the 10's of thousands of women who became widows during WWII

Out of this world. Magnifique!

The rules were different then. Context matters. But there is no question that 47-years ago I liked older women plenty fine. I am not arguing that the rules of today should be any different than what they are. But I was certainly not a victim myself.

Never shall I forget this splendid movie... oh, how I cried watching ..

Hello Summer 2023

How's paedophilia romantic? If an adult man had the sexy time with my 15 year old daughter or adult woman had the sexy time with my 15 year old son, id be furious and want them to be in prison.

The woman was a paedophile. Let's be honest. He was 15 and she was an adult woman.

Oh glad they didn't end it like the book.

i saw this again last week for the first time in many years, I guess having endured heart ache, loss, and the twists and turns of adulthood myself , the movies impact on me was triple and powerful

I love the way he states into her eyes. Magnificent song

massa!

Beautiful mesmerising movie

Jennifer O'Neill was so Beautiful in this movie.

Just the music itself is touching

Wow the war days

It happens almost every one’s life. We meet. Like each other very much. Then, get separated and never see each other again. But the image in our minds is never erased.

I was looking for the duet part. But why in English? French has better vowels.

2:04 This is a beautiful movie. I consider myself tremendously lucky. For me, it was the summer of 1977. I was 16 in a high-school medical training program. My emergency medical training mentor was Penny. She was 30, an EMT with a nursing background. We made a very special connection. We eventually became EMT/Paramedic partners working on the ambulance together for many years. In fact, we worked the vast majority of our EMS careers together. We were a great team on and off duty, building a successful life together. Suffering and sacrificing together, but with a fair amount of happiness as well. I knew Penny for 43 great years. We lived together for 30 years, married 15 of them (I was her second husband). Due to the type of work we did together, we were not spared all the senseless tragedies. However, we had each other to overcome adversity. Unfortunately, Penny passed away suddenly in May of 2020. I love and miss you, my wonderful wife. But life goes on.

Et pendant ce temps là en France, il y a eu les rafles. Des hommes et des femmes separes les enfants aussi parfois montaient dans des trains, les Una sur les autres. L ete 42 en juillet et en aout
