How can you say that this is a trashy bad movie trailer? I love all of Troy Donahue movies, and with Connie Stevens it makes the movie extra special! I saw them both in person when I was 16, and even now at 70 yrs. old, watching Troy Donahue movies still makes my heart flutter!
Such a heart felt movie. One of the best. The back round music played a big part in this beautiful movie. The location was stunning and each of the cast members contributed a certain tenderness that you don't find in movies today. Innocence derailed by tender derailment to another reality. One of my favorites.
I love this movie. Connie and Troy were perfect together. This movie is not trashy or bad..it is a story of innocence and growing up. Parrish was another great one.
I saw this movie when it was first released in 1961. I was 16, and I watched it on the big screen at the Majestic Theater in downtown Dallas. It was in glorious Technicolor, and I remember how beautiful everything and everyone looked.
Delmer Daves made several great movies with Troy Donahue: A Summer Place, Parrish, Susan Slade and Rome Adventure and all were smash hits and Troy was.a big box office star. Connie Stevens was a lovely actress and for a while Queen of the WB Lot and is now one of the richest women in Hollywood. Troy went on to do other films at WB Palm Springs Weekend, A Distant Trumpet and h My Blood Runs Cold. After he left WB his star faded. Someone should do a book on the career and life of Troy Donahue
I remember this flick. I was so disappointed when Grant Williams' character was bumped off so near the beginning. A movie of its time, early 1960s. Thanks for the trailer. I haven't seen this movie in decades!
I adore this movie as much as A Summer Place and Parrish. This was the era when real movies were made, Unfortunately people consider this classics or cult flicks bad and trashy because they are used to today's expensive garbage with its fake (computerised) special effects.
I like watching these old trailers featuring young stars, full of optimism about careers that often didn't work out and lives that are in many cases, over now. But there they are in the full bloom of youth.
what is bad is not the movie, it's the trailer. It tells the almost whole story. Especially the ending scene shouldn't have been seen in the trailer. I believe you'd agree.
I saw this trailer several times before I saw the film. I could have sworn that at 2:58 Connie says "I love you Lloyd". But Troy's name is Hoyt in this film.
You're right thinhs aren't the same. We now have 49% of babies born out of wedlock so things are better, huh?? This movie warned young girls (like me) that decisions have consequences & sometimes feelings HAVETO be controlled. Kids are not being taught that now...just do what you want, when you want. Some things were better back then.
Good comment! Popular films of the past need to be viewed in context. It makes me feel 11 again; wanting to look like Connie Stevens & wear those beautiful dresses! We all got the "warning" as well ! No sex before marriage, you will be "stained" & need a white knight like Troy Donahue to save you!
As did I. A trashy movie? Hardly!! I thought Connie did a very good job as she fit the part-young and innocent with some depth. Not at all like the trashy women of today who try to pass themselves off as actresses like Jennifer Lopez, or Julia Roberts. P.S. Connie was also quite pretty, unlike the fishy lips of Roberts and the equally plain features of Lopez.
keri caye Connie Francis died some years ago. Remember she married Eddie Fisher and had 2 girls with him. He was nothing but an addict. Used to sing in lounges in Europe just so he could pay Dr. Feelgood. Many stars were under the influence of this man.
@@sparx180 This is Connie Stevens, and she is still living; she had a stroke a few years ago which may account for lack of public appearances (Connie Francis is still living as well). Yes, she was married to Eddie Fisher, as was Debbie Reynolds (who is possibly who you are thinking of) and Elizabeth Taylor. They all got involved with and married Fisher out of their own free will, even though he proved not to be husband and/or father material. It is not right to call someone "nothing but an addict" or say that their addictions define them, many people struggle with addiction, that doesn't make them bad or unworthy people. I'm no fan of Eddie Fisher, and all of those women could have done better, but I don't like that kind of generalization.
@sandy3383 You can get all 4 movies in a set called warner bros. romance classics. either amazon or turner classics. Palm springs weekend, parrish,rome adventure, and susan slade.
this was on the edge of the change from the 1950's sensibilities. all the fantasy of romance , and just like the doris day rock hudson films of make believe and aspirations of the audience. even including an unwanted pregnancy and omg sex.
Since it is never shown on TV here in Australia, I had to wait and wait and wait till it was released on DVD. Am watching it now and still cry when Susan finds out Con has died. Will cry again when she ends up with Hoyt! Only time I cringe is when the baby is burning. Very poor editing!
poor editing? YOU THINK ITS EASILY DONE?....first it was a fake baby.....and any editor knows what a tedious job it is to edit...........I'm in films..you're obviously not
Mscentrumo4 LOVED THEME SONG, when I was 11.My mom got tricked into taking me to a DRIVE-IN! to see this.She wanted to leave,but stuck it out. It wasn't Shakespeare! I went on family vacation to Hawaii, humming Theme Song:My poor parents! A sweet lush "soap opera,of a movie. Child got burned when disgraced "new mom" left lighter out : No one "burst into flames."ho
TCM just played this movie tonight. I think it might be the WORST movie I ever saw!!! I can't believe I just watched a baby burst into flames. BIZARRE!!!
@@zzzbbbooo Not necessarily. Not having sex or living together before marriage doesn't guarantee a successful marriage. It may work for some, but not others.

I love this movie . Great acting. The chemistry between Troy and Connie was terrific. Beatiful couple ...Thanks for sharing

Romantic movies like this will never come our way again, it's the reruns that we enjoy today.
Love this movie Troy and Connie are great together.
I love this film so much! Susan went through so much, love her parents so compassionate loving....
I loved this movie . It was one of the best movies of the 60 s.
Tray and connie were terrific in it

Drugs and Alcohol, by 1969, basically homeless.

Un bellissimo film e bellissima musica
!

I too love this movie!! I just wish TCM would show it more often. It would be great if Connie and Troy's movies were more readily available.
so you go to amazon.com and buy it....new or used.....
I like watching these old trailers featuring young stars, full of optimism about careers that often didn't work out and lives that are in many cases, over now. But there they are in the full bloom of youth.
Always Love this movie Forever, I was just a young teen, I bought the Cd Tape Everything Love Connie Stevens and Troy Donahue..💖
Loved this movie. Must have seen it around 30 times over the years.
I just ordered the DVD of this movie from ebay ...I remember watching this way back when ... I was crazy for Troy Donahue. Oh, to be young again ...
I wonder where Troy and Connie are in the opening segment. I'd guess NYC due to the fire escape Whose idea was it to have them climb it?
Sandy, it's now available in a boxed set with "Parrish," "Rome Adventure," and "Palm Springs Weekend".
Love this movie, sooooooooo innocent compared to to-day.
how could anyone call this a trashy bad movie trailer......shame on them....its a great OLD film.
what is bad is not the movie, it's the trailer. It tells the almost whole story. Especially the ending scene shouldn't have been seen in the trailer. I believe you'd agree.
I loved this show. I saw it on tv when I was a young girl. Great show. Wonder if I can find it somewhere?
What happend to Hollywoods creativity? we dont get movies like this anymore,
Troy used to go to my gym near the end of his life
I saw it on TV in the seventies. Fascinating
I LOVE this movie!!
I first saw this film when I was in junior school in 1972 !
Quero ver o filme suzan slade
I saw this trailer several times before I saw the film. I could have sworn that at 2:58 Connie says "I love you Lloyd". But Troy's name is Hoyt in this film.
In the 'closed caption' she says "I love you hard". (Blushes....)
Would love to see it again, how do I watch in full length please. Diane.
Just google it and ask for free movie.
I was 18 when I watched this movie. I was in love with Connie Stevens. Most of my mates were in love with her too,
You're right thinhs aren't the same. We now have 49% of babies born out of wedlock so things are better, huh??

One of
John Waters favourite film
This movie is not trashy. A very good Movie
This movie was on TCM today. It was very well done. I liked it. AAA+

Grant Williams was such a looker. Wish he had not been written out so soon. 😢
its sad...Connie is still working and alive but not the rest.
She is in her 70's now. It will be a sad day when she is gone.
keri caye Connie Francis died some years ago. Remember she married Eddie Fisher and had 2 girls with him. He was nothing but an addict. Used to sing in lounges in Europe just so he could pay Dr. Feelgood. Many stars were under the influence of this man.

Loved it
@sandy3383 You can get all 4 movies in a set called warner bros. romance classics. either amazon or turner classics. Palm springs weekend, parrish,rome adventure, and susan slade.
These movies taught MORALS ...not how to twerk...sometimes new things aren't better
Love that movie
No they weren't! They were two different stories entirely. In "Parrish" Troy doesn't even end up with Connie!
this was on the edge of the change from the 1950's sensibilities. all the fantasy of romance , and just like the doris day rock hudson films of make believe and aspirations of the audience. even including an unwanted pregnancy and omg sex.
Cool classic gold New Yorkers ;)
Why at 19 were they already shooting her though a gauze lens???
@galwaygirl501 They are scheduled for showing during the summer months. Check your local listings.
アメリカの「若大将シリーズ」みたいな…。
「パームスプリングスの週末」とかの。
😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
AS FOR YOU TROY DONAHUE
I KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA DO
we all wanted to.
Since it is never shown on TV here in Australia, I had to wait and wait and wait till it was released on DVD. Am watching it now and still cry when Susan finds out Con has died. Will cry again when she ends up with Hoyt! Only time I cringe is when the baby is burning. Very poor editing!

😁😃😃🌟🌟
@ToughXArmy69 I second that.
I came here for the burning baby
ok its a corny film; but its fun
Mscentrumo4 LOVED THEME SONG, when I was 11.My
mom got tricked into taking me to a DRIVE-IN! to see this.She wanted to leave,but stuck it out.
It wasn't Shakespeare! I went on family vacation to Hawaii, humming Theme Song:My poor parents! A sweet lush "soap opera,of a movie. Child got burned when disgraced "new mom"
left lighter out : No one "burst into flames."ho
I loved this movie! Actually it was the grandmother who was always leaving the cigarette lighter where the child could reach it. Stupid woman!
Jaguar f pace
This thing is the answer to What movie is worse than "Parish" and "Portrait in Black"?
TCM just played this movie tonight. I think it might be the WORST movie I ever saw!!!
I can't believe I just watched a baby burst into flames. BIZARRE!!!
What morals? The stupid idea of not having sex before marriage?
well this was made 1960, released 61 and that's how we were! brainwashed.
It worked for our parents whose marriages lasted way longer than ours do. There's your answer.
@@zzzbbbooo Not necessarily. Not having sex or living together before marriage doesn't guarantee a successful marriage. It may work for some, but not others.
