Dorothy McGuire -- A Summer Place -- 1959

[@ijfsfv7439]

One of the most romantic scenes ever filmed in my opinion.

[@Poeme340]

Agreed-mature, thoughtful, and sexy. They were two old pros working their magic.

[@willyboy3581]

Featuring yet another beautiful, understated performance from the under-rated, often overlooked (as incredible as that sounds!) Dorothy McGuire.

[@georgepenton808]

Her performance was WAY TOO understated in my opinion. I'm sorry but I think Dorothy McGuire was terrible in this movie.

[@c.annettewilliams751]

she tells him I will come to you whenever you want me. What a line! I just love LOVE.

[@PatRaine-x8l]

IT IS A GREAT LINE! I agree with her! Ken is so Handsome!❤

[@willyboi708]

One of my favorite movies of all time!!!

[@charcollings486]

You have to dig to find the gems!

Richard Egan's voice....❤....this scene is just magic

[@jamesfox2579]

He's a total HUNK!❤️😋🔥🔥

[@rowley555]

@@jamesfox2579 he should have been a much bigger star...

[@trinihammer]

@@rowley555 i agree 100%

[@trinihammer]

@@jamesfox2579 should have seen him in demetrius and the gladiators. didnt have a big part but what scenes he was in he overpowered Victor Mature.

[@thejonquil]

The closest Miss Dorothy McGuire came to being the fallen woman and she does it magnificiently in A Summer Place. This old fashion, dated masterpiece is a depiction of love as it used to be in the innocence of literature and motion pictures and it makes a lot of us wish we could truly turn back time. It is not to late to watch how movies of love used to be and still feel the emotion. It was sensational. One a lot of us should see and get chills.

[@donaldgon8019]

At that ti.e the story in the movie was a scandal. Now it appears to be the norm

[@wellalwayshaveparissandere9414]

What a Legend, What A Hunk, What a Man's Man!!! This is truly true Love........ I love Romance..... and it's still out there!!!! Believe and you shall receive?🎶🎉🎇🎆

[@mariawolf5843]

in the 50s there was this love but today it is desappeared...

[@patsmith6982]

That is my favorite line, my dreams have had you wrapped up in them! I LOVE THIS MOVE!

[@davidallen508]

This scene certainly has one wanting more.I'm on a continuous hunt for this movie and I'm not giving up.Dorothy McGuire is pure class ; she can do no wrong.

[@carolynwilliams3502]

Such a beautiful film.

[@mira8695]

She had the most lovely voice

[@justicarpenter8497]

My favorite scene from the movie... She was amazing

[@PatRaine-x8l]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!🎥 “All through the years my dreams have had you wrapped up in them and I tried forgetting” is my FAVORITE LINE FROM KEN!❤

[@carolynwilliams3502]

This such a great film. All actor's were on top of their game.beautifull scenes. Thanks 4 the memories.

[@fobesq]

She is one of my favorite actresses. I think she was just wonderful.

[@davidallen508]

I agree with you.Dorothy McGuire was beautiful , inside and out ; one those fine women we appreciate more with time.

[@Poeme340]

Agreed, agreed-she’s exquisite in all of her roles.

[@carolynnewyork6919]

A truely fabulous scene.

[@johnjarou2357]

beautiful dorothy maguire.

[@carolynwilliams3502]

A wonderful scene.

[@diannan8394]

Beautiful movie 🎥🍿✌️🍀✨💖🙏🏼

[@Avatar610]

I always preferred the adult love story in this movie as opposed to the teen one!

[@angelinanisse7383]

Ditto! "Do you love me - is it still the same?" "Dear God, YES!!!"

[@jamesfox2579]

​@@angelinanisse7383I love that particular scene!💕

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

I love this scene in the movie. Richard Egan...hunk..!! Connie Ford was pretty terrific too. Great character actress. Beulah Bondi has a nice part, as a sweet little old lady.

[@georgepenton808]

Beulah Bondi I like---at first you think she is a dumb old bitty but then she shows how shrewd and intelligent she is. Dorothy McGuire does a terrible job in this movie----she might as well have phoned in her lines. Constance Ford and Arthur Kennedy put in lackluster performances. Troy Donahue can't act at all. Richard Egan is quite good in this movie. But Sandra Dee is GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! She made the movie. How about Bette Davis in the Constance Ford part? That would have been killer.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

​@@georgepenton808 *biddy. Among the many film mothers this never-a-mother actress played was to George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life (1944). In it her character was maternally sweet, until the Scroogean sequence of George visiting a Bedford Falls had he never been born, and meeting and greeting her as "Mother!" is rudely spurned by her as an unfulfilled old biddy.

[@mightybeeb]

friendly pursuasion was a great dorothy movie

[@charcollings486]

Yes it was!

[@lisaodonovan1249]

Example of what soulmate is.

You're never too old for Disney movies ;-)

[@fannyanne2]

summer place is a classic movie love it I had it and it was destroyed

[@1012harley]

Dorothy McGuire was also great in another movie with Troy Donohue and Connie Stevens: "Susan Slade". A must see...........

[@joycemanigault828]

Yes I can identify. Marrying horrible spouses. Love this movie. First watched it as a teenager. Now I really understand. Thank u.

[@Migalucivideos]

Both of them some of the most underrated actors ever - both giving beautiful performances in this movie. That chemistry! Woooow. Does anyone know if there was anything between them off screen?

[@angelobellino5716]

Anette Barrios No. Anything

[@sandrayarbro4774]

One of my favorite movies! !

[@emerybayblues]

Nope. both quite happy married to other people.

[@trinihammer]

Nah, richard egan was a devoted husband and devout catholic. but boy was he a hunk.

[@valeriebellefleur6217]

Yes I was a teen when these came out but didn't get yo see them and still can't.. crazy.

[@Juliaflo]

It may interest you to know that 'Susan Slade' and three other movies starring the unforgettable Troy Donahue are being released on DVD today, on what would have been Mr. Donahue's 72nd or 73rd birthday. R.I.P., Mr. Donahue, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY in heaven.

True love.

[@orlandobabe]

Oh boy! Poor kids, have been seperated for so long and now their they are with different partners and with kids. So sad and romantic at the same time.

[@fordlandau]

Richard Egan is a hunk..check the biceps and the tight Lacoste polo

[@rowley555]

Yes very handsome, very manly, and that mesmerizing voice

[@mariawolf5843]

the past great love between kenn and sylvia reminds me my greatest love obstacolated by my parents and after 4 years finished... I am still loving my greatest love who died trecently of cancer and my marriage was very unhappy one I am stil loving my past greatest love. The true sincere love is the best medicine and parents have not to interfere into the marriage of their children but my parents did caussing me terrin error terrible sufferences. I wish all the best to the couple who married as love ...choice...and never divorced...

[@RanBlakePiano]

But Dorothy s performence with Ethel Barrymore. Spiral Staircase I s classic !

[@charcollings486]

Mature adults in love...what a rare thing these days. Actually, we never see love like this anymore in films. In the 50"s men like Eagen were the norm. Currently can we find a guy with this much masculine appeal anywhere in film? John Hamm, Denzel Washington...I can think no further.

[@rowley555]

Men like Egan were the norm? Omg I was born way too late....🤦‍♀️😅

[@charcollings486]

Ha! And I was too young! @@rowley555

[@rowley555]

@char collings I will...thank you

[@countryhoney28]

Yes, when you age, it's the older couple you identify with. I feel for them both because they married such horrible spouses. I relate to Dorothy McGuire's charactor becuase I too, married for the wrong reasons. Th turmoil of after living with this drunk and then years later you meet your soulmate, but you cannot do anything because you have morals, and a child. These people can't cheat,but in reality it is they who have been cheated on by their miserable spouses. I say go for it!

[@outercyberia]

countryhoney28 - I, too, identified with the older couple and I was in a similar situation. Their children reflected the true love that they had for each other.

[@mariawolf5843]

pac I understand you very well as my parents my mother forced to leave my greatest love because he was not an accademic and he was not rich but he was honest and loved me...I married and my marriage was r terrible but I was a good wife and mother. Unfortunately my greatest love died a couple of years of cancer but he is still in my heart and my praw error prayers and the film we saw it together...

[@slaypotato1515]

Steiner wrote their love theme my fav oooooh! Only in my dreams this scene n the boathouse were the best

[@elwoodblues9613]

That song is all over YT. My favorite one is of an orchestra in Germany playing it in concert. The song is a magical encapsulation of early 1960s pop culture, taking you back to when things were much, much better.

[@Rouben19]

/although the theme was a new song the soundtrack was updated from the Bette Davis 1946 film A Stolen Life...

[@cheryljordan4263]

Why won't YT air the full movie?

[@ingridlinda-215]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of this movie. A Summer Place 1959. i love this move ??

[@LorreB]

Check out Amazon.com or eBay. They both should have the DVD or VHS format. Also watch the tv listings for the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) network on cable. That's where I watched it for this clip. Good luck.

[@billwhite51]

the dorothty of the mcguire sisters is not the actress dorothy mcguire.

[@eam886]

do you have the boathouse scene?! :) please post!!

[@billwhite51]

the dorothy of the mcguire sisters is not the same person as the actress dorothy mcguire

[@gwtwvivien]

I am sorry to ask you this question, but...Mc Guire..is still alive?, I ask you this because I have never seen her IN MEMORIAL at Oscars time. Sorry very much if She passes away. I love her in this movie.Carlos

[@RanBlakePiano]

gwtwcarlos think she died nine eleven

[@countryhoney28]

The kids are better off-being with people who truly love each other and show their kids wha true love is. When that idiot has the doctor there after Sandra Dee comes in makes me sick. That first step to happiness is going to the hardest one to take. But once you do, how great if feels to get that 'marroon' ' off your back and out of your life . I 'd run so fast away there would be a cloud of dust so big even the roadrunner would get passed up!

[@georgepenton808]

You can't treat teenagers as of they were children. I think this is supposed to be one of the themes of this movie.

[@billwhite51]

were she one and the same, disney would have more fully exploited her singing talent in movies such as swiss family robinson and summer magic.

[@billwhite51]

im positive. the mcguire sisters were from ohio. dorothy is from nebraska. phillis mcguire had some small parts in a handful of movies, including come blow your horn
