I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

That was an excellent one.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

As I view this film, DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE and THE SWIMMER, I came to appreciate and realize the work of Frank Perry. He is an unrecognized director who created great films that are unfortunately largely forgotten. The New Hollywood movement in the 1960's and early to 1970's was exciting, challenging audiences with artistic stories that Hollywood never dreamed of making during the heydays of the Production Code (very rare exceptions crept in). In the 1960s audiences were treated to a younger, edgier and more intense approach to subject matter and movies. All of these things received awards, accolades and astonishing commercial success.LAST SUMMER is one of those movies that received attention and accolades, but never really had an enduring legacy, except maybe only to film aficionados. Here we have the story of three teenagers, Peter, Dan and Sandy that are spending summer vacation together in the very treacherous heat of New York at Fire Island. In that time, we learn of their rather dysfunctional home lives, and they resort to making biting and morbid jokes about it. Peter, Dan and Sandy form a bond, and share personal feelings with one another and experiment with their innermost sexual curiosities and desires. What starts off as cute, sexy becomes a little more biting (for example, the scene in which Peter and Dan feel up Sandy in a movie theater). When a nerdy, morally right girl named Rhoda comes into their circle, they belittle and taunt her. They sort of warm to her later, by teaching her how to swim, and also Peter warms to her more and they develop a crush on each other. The final scene we know...To better understand films, I read reviews to gain more objectivity and insight. And I have come to read, and agree, that the film is very much about sexual power, and how desires and curiosities can become hellish and cruel. Very much like LORD OF THE FLIES, as one reviewer put it. Previously in the film, Sandy and the boys nurse a seagull back to health and when it attacks Sandy she becomes angry and kills the bird. This is the first inclination that tells us this is not going to be an easy movie to sit through. The fascinating aspect is how the young can be, and learn to be, violent and evil. This film is more about provoking emotion and thought rather than happy-go-lucky. It has those sunshine, cute little moments in the beginning and throughout but it becomes something darker and sinister altogether. This film needs a Criterion re-release, and a critical re-appraisal for being an underrated piece of work. Wherever you find it, watch it and be captivated. It will leave you thinking about it again and again. That's what art is supposed to do.

None of the characters in this movie are very likable. The two guys in it seem spoiled and rather wimpy. Barbara Hershey is young and beautiful and claimed to have this high IQ where there was no evidence of this. The 3 main characters seemed naive at an incredible level that unless they had brain damage it was to hard to believe. Other than smoking some grass there was no talk of anything that happened in the 60's. (Viet Nam, The Draft, Student protests, Music)It seems today that even bad movies in recent years cover teen issues, sexuality, and peer pressure much better than this film did. It falls flat with no build up to an anti-climatic ending which ends in a very mean spirited manner for not much of a reason.

I woke up in a cold sweat at 4 a.m. in the morning and realized "Oh my God! They killed her".Just as Sandy had killed the bird when it turned on her and bit her, she instigated the rape of Rhoda. When they all three came up to the dune at the ending, I kept waiting for Rhoda...she never appears. It has to be just like the bird, they had to have killed her. I even wonder if it wasn't planned. Remember when Peter says "I will kiss you at the bottom of the ocean"...I thought that was a hint just like Rhodas mother who drowned.I also wondered if Anibel wasn't supposed to be an "alibi".Need to read the book to get more clues I guess.

A strikingly clear-eyed and nonjudgmental portrait of adolescent explorations into sex, friendship, loyalty and cruelty which deftly captures the essential amorality and irresponsibility of that uncertain period of one's life with considerable candor and an admirable dearth of sentiment. Three carefree, unsupervised teenagers -- conniving, domineering, flirtatious strumpet Sandy (a deliciously wicked Barbara Hershey, wearing a skimpy bikini outfit that shows off a lot of her toothsome, voluptuous figure), aggressively libidinous Dan (Bruce Davison in his solid film debut), and the slightly more thoughtful Peter (a strong turn by Richard Thomas) -- become involved in a playfully steamy menage a trois on Long Island's tranquil Fire Island resort. The two guys are both completely infatuated with Sandy and vie with each other to seduce her. The rowdy trio engage in a wild group grope in a movie theater, drink beer, smoke grass, nurse a wounded seagull back to health, bask in the sun's unwavering rays, and cut loose during an especially crazed impromptu heavy petting/hair washing session. Their delicate, uninhibited fantasy world gets upset when pallid, pudgy, deeply uptight and morally responsible plain jane Rhoda (superbly played by the endearingly ungainly Cathy Burns, who deservedly got an Oscar nomination for her first-rate performance) enters their precious circle and steals Peter's attention away from Sandy. Eleanor Perry's astute, keenly observed script offers many painfully truthful moments as the gawky, confused main characters grapple with mortality (Rhoda's monologue about the untimely death of her mother is simply incredible), intense, unfulfilled sexual longings, sexual rivalry, and feelings of extreme callousness. Directed with great tact and restraint by Frank Perry, gorgeously shot in dewy, creamy, golden-hued soft focus by Gerald Hirshfeld (the expansive beachside scenery is positively beautiful), and marvelously acted by a fine cast, "Last Summer" rates as a quietly potent, poignant and disturbing sleeper.
