- “In everyone’s life there’s a summer of ’42.”
Summer of '42 is a 1971 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film based on the memoirs of screenwriter Herman Raucher. It tells the story of how Raucher, in his early teens on his 1942 summer vacation on Nantucket Island (off the coast of Cape Cod), embarks on a one-sided romance with a young woman, Dorothy, whose husband has gone off to fight in World War II.
The film was directed by Robert Mulligan, and starred Gary Grimes as Hermie, Jerry Houser as his best friend Oscy, Oliver Conant as their nerdy young friend Benjie, Jennifer O'Neill as the mysterious woman with whom Hermie becomes involved.
Nantucket Island was too far modernized in 1970 to be convincingly transformed to resemble an early 1940s resort, so production was taken to Mendocino, California, on the West Coast of the US.Shooting took place over eight weeks, during which O'Neill was sequestered from the three boys cast as "The Terrible Trio," in order to ensure that they did not become close and ruin the sense of awkwardness and distance that their characters felt towards Dorothy.
The movie earned an Academy Award - Original Dramatic Score - for Michel Legrand.
Movies like this are rare, it’s nostalgic and moving. The music fits perfectly ❤️
Yes!!!❤❤❤
Just perfect ❣️ Debra Bader
This movie always reminds me of those beautiful moments when life was simple and beautiful.
But the harsh time of WWII and the loss I knew was coming when he left on that boat.
Welcome back Herve!
You've been missed.
I agree!!

Herman Raucher is 92 now and lives on the east coast . Several years ago I had the opportunity to correspond with him concerning finding the real Dorothy . The real Dorothy wrote him once with a postmark from Canton OH , and he knew from the things she said that it was her. There was no return address and she never wrote him again. Herman told me that some people tried to locate her for him but did not find her. In my conversations with Herman he felt that she did not want to be contacted so he let it go. I informed him I thought he was wrong and that the problem was he didn't try hard enough . I left this brief moment with Hermie walking away with the following impressions. That the movie was basically a true story and sadly that Herman did not want to really find her again for reasons I can't figure out. The real Dorothy if still alive would be around 98. If she has since died no family member who knows or knew her secret has come forth to date. This is sad since she is one of the most storied people in film making history.
If she did tell her family , her secret , they most likely would not have believed her.
It was nice of her to contact him once. Still some people wish that their secret stays just that. They don’t wish to be contacted. I had girlfriends that I never was able to locate years later. It’s just life.
I do like that fact that you contacted Herman and gave us fans an update to this story ! Merry Christmas ⛄🎁
Herman died 12/28/23 at 95.
Wow!! I had no idea the story I fell in love with at the age of 19 is true. Jennifer O'Neill, the love story, and the beautiful Seaside Village are all so perfect in my youthful memory. Today I am 71 years young, and like a lost dream, you have brought back my summer of 1971. Thank you for the beautiful cinematography and the comparison of the village both then and now. A masterpiece of a more innocent time and the coming of age.
Canton, Ohio is one hour south of me. I had no idea Dorothy was so close.
'Summer of 42' will always be dear to my heart. (A coming of age story that changes a young man to an adult, and thus leaving behind his youth.) Thank you for re-visiting this place and going back in time.
I had a Summer of '42 experience in my life when i was 18 years old. It was so beautiful and so very rewarding. I am 65 now, I always think about that event sometimes when I feel down. Best time of my life.
she was so stunning, jennifer. never forget her. or this movie.
You make it sound like she's dead.
I seen that movie...thought it was going to be boring, but it was actually pretty good .....the age of innocence, no cell phones,video games or any electronics to get in your way of being outside and having fun .....its good to see you back HERVE ATTIA👍👍
The legend Herve...
“I was never to see her
again…..nor was I ever to learn what became of her….we were different then
..kids were different….it took us longer to understand the things we felt…”.
And…” live is made up of small comings and goings….for everything we
take with us…there is something that we leave behind…..”……”..in the summer of
’42 we raided the coastguardstation four times, we saw 5 movies ..had nine days
of rain Bengie broke his watch…Oscy gave up the harmonica
..and in a very special way…I lost Hermy …forever” Herman
Raucher. What a great 12 minutes of remembrance Herve!!! Thank you so much.
Very sad.Even now,when I hear that letter,I feel sad.
Omg your alive!!! Even on social media you've been missing for ages we missed you so much @Herve Attia
Congratulations on superb work on Summer of '42 then and now. It was a poignant film then as now. A lot of bittersweet memories were revisited then and now for me almost 60 years later. They made fade, but your work recrystallize them. I loved the area of Mendocino and Ft. Bragg and always will. Things have changed, but such has life. Thanks for your fine craftsmanship in today's technology, Herve. I wish you well and much success.
This was so well done. This movie fills me with tears from the start of every clip, music score or film itself, from the first time I saw it. My mind delights in the wonder of the beauty of Jennifer O'Neill and the entire film, but my heart still washes the tears from my eyes.
Why was Hermie so traumatized by his friend having sex?
In my opinion, Jennifer O'Neil in her youth was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, definitely top 10. She competes with the likes of Farrah Fawcett, Jackelyn Smith, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, etc.

That's great but my question?
@@EnterpriseNCC-1701 I have no idea.
Ken your comments brought me to tears
I'm 77 years old and I've never seen a woman's face more beautiful than Jennifer O'Neill's in this movie. No words....
I was hoping this was going to be a documentary of the film. But this was enjoyable to watch. Very good footage of all the landmarks. It's absolutely beautiful and haunting. ❤️ You are an extraordinary filmmaker.
Love this film. One of my favorites
Summer of love '71
Gotta admit I don't 'post' much but I've been waiting for this (video) for three years.
Saw this film at the theater when I was 17. No movie 'spoke to me' as much as this film before or since.
Great effort as I watched and shed a quiet tear to my own youth and remembrance of love lost that I'll never
have again. Thank you Herve. This means more to me than you'll ever know. Thank you very much !
Ohh great to see the Location, when I was 15yrs I saw this movie, Nostalgic 💙💚
Una Joya de pelicula que marcó a toda una generación, su preciosa música nos tráe un bello recuerdo y en ese recuerdo está como una joya guardada Jennifer O'neil. ! !
My favorite all time movie, I laugh and cry ever time I see it.
Welcome back Herve! 👍🙂
A sympathetic recollection of locations that enchanted all those years ago , beautifully spliced with actual footage of the magical movie that over 50 years later still touches the tear ducts . And one of the best musical scores as a backdrop indellibly etched on my mind , that wooden shack may have gone but what took place there will forever remain .
Beautiful comments on this great picture
The Great Herve Attia!
An incredible film, a masterpiece of cinema, perfection of images and soundtrack!
Hervé, I never thought I'd revisit my favorite movie in such a wonderful way. Thank you for your art and work. God bless you.
They never show this wonderful and beautiful movie on cable or on regular channels! ❤
This is so wonderful. Thank you so much for making this. This was one of the most memorable movies I've ever seen, and love how you were able to walk in the scenes. Very good work.
Herve, the King is back!
Saw the movie the first time at 17 . It was ok back then ,but I'm getting a little to old to have teary eyes over a movie . The ending kills me every times . WOW Everything changes ,nothing stays the same .
I saw the movie in 1971, then read the book. I was in my 20's. I felt it was a chapter of my past life. I thought the movie was filmed "Down East, " but it, in my minds' eye, was my hometown, a small fishing village on Floridas' north gulf coast. Even Dorothy's house and interior was similar to mine and others in our neighborhood. I was a soda jerk in a drug store and can relate to that part of the story. Earlier, my friends and I roamed the old waterfront, and even "raided" the Coast Guard Cutter. Always one of my favorite movies. Good memories.
Wow, after 5 years finally came back. Wow
As a kid this film taught me a lesson; it is better to love, than not at all. And is the pain worth it? Yes, and no.
Great film, and your work really supports it very well. Good to see you're still making video. Best regards,DV
What a beautiful film. The area does not seemed to have changed much over the years. “Summer of ‘42” is one of my favorite movies and scores. Thank you!
Think I'm going to have a heart attack your work is amazing skillful to the last detail
The Man that does it best is back!
So many of these locations look surprisingly the same after so much time has passed.
So true, I was living there during the filming. Summer of '70?
True! But I still haven’t found the location of Dorothy ‘s house 🏡 but I m close 🙌I found the beach 🏖. Herve you do great work man🤟🙌🙌👏⭐️👊😎✨
I am amazed how little has changed in almost 50 years!
This brought back an awful lot of memories. Thank you. Beautiful as always.
This brought back a lot of awful memories for me as well.
Nice New Videos :) Thanks
So glad to see you back and doing filming locations. Please continue, great work.
One of my favorite films
Yesterday (18/11) I downloaded the movie Summer of '42. Today, early in the morning, I open my e-mail and get this gift from Herve. Thank you very much. It was quite a surprise. Was it a mere coincidence?
Such a great film...and music by Michel Legrand....
The music is so soothing, can’t get enough of it and it is an absolutely perfect accompaniment to this film. The actors, all of them, are amazing! Deserves all the Oscar’s for that year !
Like catching up with an old friend, or finding an old photograph in a long forgotten box, it truly was a joy to be able to watch a new Herve Attia production.
Welcome back Mr. Attia, you have been missed.
Great little film, I play it every now and again and remember seeing the film many years ago. I will give this little film it's own Oscar for originality and photographic brilliance.
watched the movie tonight because i wanted to watch your video after it, great movie and great video from you, always amazed when after 50 years not much has changed
Wonderfu.l. I have been searching for location of summer 42 for a long time. Saw a few video, but not very complete. this is by far the most extensive. Great job.
Welcome back Herve you have been missed, dont stay away for too long.
Hola hervet athia. ...esperando tus vídeos de filming locations de films. Saludos desde Argentina y pública más seguidos
Herve, you've reopened the book and taken us back to the summer of '42. The power of first love never wanes. When one arrives back at that "moment," the tide of passion sweeps over us. When we return to "today," the heartache is still as real. And always will be.
Fantastic, one of my favourite films that is NEVER on TV in the UK. Why? 🤔 🤩😍
Good job Herve!!! I saw this film when I still was a boy. Wow, it was amazing, a remarkable movie. I felt in love with Jennifer. She was gorgeous!!!
I am impressed how many areas of the film are preserved till today in Mendocino.
I enjoyed a lot wathing your video and the creativity to produce it. Thank you Herve for share your experience!!!
OMG. Welcome back Herve! You have been Sorely missed. 👍
This is incredible in so many ways, and amazing production to watch! You brought this movie back in your own way to us, 10 out of 10! And biggest Thanks!!!

Excelent work. I am so lucky to live here.
What a way to make a comeback!! That was absolute class!! We missed you.
What is going on??? A new video from Herve Attia in my subscription inbox?? No way... Glad I kept my subscription for all these years.
Thank you, Herve.. Classic all time favorites that stir so many memories. My summer of 42 was in 63, and yes, it changed my life forever. My lips are sealed and I will always cherrish the gift knowing taught me as a young man. Women were always the most precious of God's gift to me, but that has somehow changed.
The present touches the past. Brilliantly done.
C'est génial quand les lieux n'ont pas trop changés. Merci d'être de retour Hervé !! 👍
She is absolutely beautiful 🤩. I would of fell in love with her too!
Almost those houses are still same position. Great job harvi

Absolutely fantastic work,I wouldn't change a thing,you hit it big this time!Please I am begging for more.....Take my money!
Fantastic!!! This is one of my favorite movies!
The legend is back!
Hermie was fifteen in the film, I was a month past my sixteenth birthday when seeing it. Thus I could easily identify with the story, pressures and pains of teenage years. In '42 there was a war in Europe and the Pacific, in '71 a war in Vietnam. Almost hard to believe it will soon be 53 years since the film was released. The theme haunts me, and to this day no other film has had such an effect on me.
I was in Mendocino in 2013. I didnt realize that this was the location for Summer of 42 until I saw this video. Thanks so much.
This is the best youtube I have ever seen.
For some reason I cried and cried while I watched this video.
Thank you so much!!
Holy shit! The man is back! I've never hit the watch button so fast! Herve is a modern day cinema historian.
I hope you are doing well Herve! Thank you for all of the time you have spent making these and allowing the public to see the great work you do.
this was fantastic , thank you !!!!!! Not only loved the movie, but the novel is my favorite ever... my parents also owned a summer home in Mendocino and I have made the same trek many many times....
Welcome back 😁👍🏾
Now that's a come back, welcome back artist
Its been awhile! Thank goodness you still around!
Without question I have said many times the best channel in this genre. Bar none.
WELCOME BACK BUD!!!
Le Grand Retour ! Ça manquait, vraiment :-)
Herve, tremendous work. Brilliant documentary. Inspirational and haunting as is the film. I haven’t seen the movie since I was 12 and it first appeared as a television premiere (I think ABC). I have never forgotten the end scene and the Dorthy voiceover. That 12 year old kid in me identified with Hermy for many reasons and I understood the final scene for what it is. The movie reminded me to embrace my youth as it was happening. I have tried to do this with my life. I will rewatch the movie. I stumbled over this excellent homage to the film because I purchased a Michel LeGrande album album today in a record store and started reviewing his work. Fantastic soundtrack.
My sincere compliments to the film makers. Although I do not live in Mendocino, I have been there often. Sometimes taking classes at the Art Center which is right on that road where Hermie is carrying the groceries. The split screens in places show how much and how little this beautiful area has changed. Thank you so much.
So great to see your production. Your work has been greatly missed!
WELCOME BACK! WE LOVE YOU!
