| | Underated 70's comedy deserving re-appraisal | Tap Reffahs 10/22/2007 | Sharp vivid and under rated 70's comedy with Elaine May script, and exceptional performance by Dyan Cannon in a sassy turn that fits the era, her unique and delightful personality deserving of more credit for this - and better roles like it to have vaulted her into the first rank of actresses in the 70's.
Preminger assembled a cast of pros that had performed with his direction before, such as Burgess Meredith, and newcomer Jennifer O'Neill, so refreshing in "Summer of '42". Her lustrous beauty - in addition to Dyan Cannon's effervescent smile and the cast of talented stage and screen talents - should have jelled into a strong comedy of it's era - having fallen through the cracks at the time - it is damn good and deserving of the audience that has become loyal to it through the years, awaiting a DVD release pronto - and the long delayed and deserved praise NOW. |
