Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-16-2005 01:40 PM                     Try checking The Internet Movie Database or The All Movie Guide . My direct link from the All Movie Guide didn't work, so here is a synopsis from that site: The Jorgensons are a wealthy family spending the summer on a resort island. Ken (Richard Egan), Helen (Constance Ford) and daughter Molly (Sandra Dee) settle in to a beach house on the island where Ken was a young lifeguard twenty years ago. He rediscovers Sylvia (Dorothy McGuire), with whom he had an earlier affair before she married Bart Hunter (Arthur Kennedy). The Hunter's son Johnny (Troy Donahue) and Molly fall in love, much to the objection of her mother, a cold and cynical woman. When Ken and Sylvia start another torrid affair, the exposure of the liaison leads to the divorce of both married couples. After Johnny and Molly are stranded overnight on a beach, Molly is forced by her heartless mistrusting mother to undergo a physical examination and a pregnancy test. Tests results are negative, but more negative is the mother-daughter relationship. Ken and Sylvia get married and Molly gets pregnant. The newlyweds then compassionately guide unwed couple to marriage.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-16-2005 02:21 PM                     No teaser subject titles allowed. Edit the title to include what you are talking about please.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-17-2005 02:16 AM                        Mind boggling, but "Theme From A Summer Place" has lyrics. A friend of mine who sings got hauled in with a couple of others as ringers for some college choral/orchestra concert decades ago, & reported that one of the selections was "Theme From A Summer Place". PTSD & flashbacks still for him. It's usually played as an instrumental, & is probably #1 in the all-time hit parade of music on hold.  |  IP: Logged
