I have seen Summertime so many times. I can relate to her because I, too, fell in love with an Italian while I was on vacation. This film brings back to me all the joy and sorrow of that memory.

In reply to Brittaney B. Yes! I loved her vulnerability in this film.

It’s so beautifully heartbreaking. For people who think Hepburn only plays strong, assertive women on the screen, this is probably her most vulnerable and quiet performance. And who wouldn’t fall for Brazzi?!

In reply to Reina. Brief Encounter is such a great film, I agree! And yeah, watching movies at different times in my life is always fascinating. They often do land differently.

Lean’s Brief Encounter is one of my favorites–he has such range as a director. Summertime is on my rewatch list. Often movies I saw in my teens and twenties land differently in my late 40s. 🙂
