    Just a magical movie, first time I saw this movie I realised that it was a classic. Beautiful musical score, Jennifer O'Neill was not only stunning but a fine actress. A movie that takes me back to a time when we were young and happy. Where have all the years gone ???? Without doubt, one of the greatest feel good movies ever made.

    One of the most BEAUTIFUL SCORES ever written. Hauntingly captivating. If love has ever touched your heart, you will understand. Passion filled , the longing for someone else. The sadness of letting go. It's all there. It totally expresses my life. We met 12/31/77 and were together until they passed away 8/4/17. 40 years of loving and being loved. I was such a lucky guy.

      Even though I was only 3 years old when this movie and soundtrack were released,
      I remember watching it in the late 1970s on TV. The story of a young man who becomes a handyman one Summer and has an affair with an older married woman, whose husband dies during WWII. The song was so beautiful and haunting!!🎵
      It left an indelible impression on me as a young child! I'll be 54 years old next week, but even as a 3-year-old, I never forget this song! Michael Legrand's musical score is definitely a timeless classic!!

    I was stationed at Great Lakes, Illinois the summer of '71. I would go to Chicago to visit my eldest sister regularly. She and I went to see this movie at the United Artists downtown, and, after a walk and talk on Lakeshore Drive, we had dinner at a great resturant. Before she passed away last February, I reminded her of what a great day that was for me, and how much I appreciated her input in my education. Every time I hear this theme, I will always go back to that day. Thank You Maureen.

    Here again- 51 years after this came out and I saw it in the theatre on its first run. It was only 29 years after the Summer of '42 then, and the film and the music were young and fresh, and began to define a lot of my own dreams. Only Hollywood could do this- put out something so important and so meaningful to life itself. In fact it was sort of bigger than life itself, which was possibly going to call me to fight against my will in a war I did not believe in. This was THE WAY as far as my 17 year old life found one. Later, I studied film and video, I went to Hollywood, I knocked on doors. I wrote. In the myriad of life and events it never happened for me. I found myself on the warm beach a few times, even there through the night when it wasn't so warm. Yet somehow this song was a backdrop to my life then, alone and far from where I grew up. There's a part in this song that captures the warmth of the sun on a calm summer day, and yet still surrounded by a turbulent world where young men are called off to war and their lovers and loved ones watch them leave for the last time sometimes. 51 years later now- I'm 68 and still doing what I can to make life more sane somehow. Many of the people who did this great work- the film and the music have passed, the rest are surely older than I and their best days are past. Sad to think about, but what a wonderful legacy they left us with. Peace.

      @@davidburris6873 The introspection is gone. The purpose- now it's usually just what's louder, faster and more flashy. It's product now, and product must always be replaced, until it all flashes past with no impact then. It's more rare for a film now to actually say something meaningful, the same entertainment candy is much safer and doesn't step on toes or ruffle feathers. Some moments in time and some messages just eclipse others. A moving story about innocence and WWII in the early '70's during the Vietnam War had more meaning than most films could ever. Shalom.

      Very tru there Norman, too bad it was underrated compared with other World War II themed movies made in the 1970’S, I was 18 when it came out in late 1971 and had registered for the draft. I went into the Navy in 1972, met my late wife of 31 years in the Philippines in 1975, I didn’t marry her till 1979 after I got stationed in Subic Bay, it was the very best tour of duty I ever had in theNavy, and my late wife & I had 3 children. She passed away on 3/6/2012, she was, is and will always be the love of my life.

    Since the last comment on this video was 10 months ago, I doubt if anyone will read this one, so this is for Joanne Morgan, a girl I fell head-over-heals in love with in 1971 that I was trying desparately to get next to. She was playing hard to get. The Summer of '42 was our first date and, to this day, whenever I hear it, I think of her. We dated for several years, then she moved somewhere far away in 1979 and I haven't seen or heard from her since.

    I imagine there are many of us who have loved and lost, especially with the raging hormones of youth, but new loves come to take their place and can be richer and longer, truer and mean even more, are deeper. Even if they do not last a lifetime because one of you dies or it just ends. Not very many love equally, but the memories are certainly lasting.
    We lost Michel Legrand a while back, he was 86, and the music that is his legacy will never leave us!

    What an accomplished artist Michel Legrand is, composer, arranger, pianist supreme, and oh, the songs he plays -- perfect! When he combined with Alan and Marilyn Bergman with lyrics, some of the best music of all time went down for us to listen to and love forever! Thank you kindly, Mr. Legrand! (He is 86 now, and I don't know if he is still performing in public, but I bet he's still composing and writing and probably even playing for small private get-togethers. Such a giant of an artist, and so appreciated for what he gave us to remember him by, always.)

      Good memories yes, but looking at it from a man's perspective, it was Hermie stepping
      into manhood, and leaving his childhood behind. He was far more mature then his two
      close friends, and Dorothy saw that as well. I always thought when he took that last
      quick look at the empty house, he did so as a kid, but when he walked back toward his
      friends, he aged a wee bit more then they.

    • @Outlier999

      Good memories of what is now statutory rape. I am willing to bet $100 the “grieving widow “ used his GI insurance to snag some officer of higher rank or more money. I am very cynical 🤨 about these things. If the genders had been reversed it would have been considered a horrible crime by most people.
