Full Plot Details

The Hunter family has long owned a mansion on Pine Island, a summer resort located off the Maine coast. Bart Hunter's now-deceased father was able to open the mansion for free when Bart was younger. But current owner Bart, a drunkard and weak man, must now live there year round for financial survival with his wife Sylvia and their late teen-aged son Johnny, the family which is barely able to eke out a living with the mansion now as a year-round inn in an extreme state of disrepair. Bart and Sylvia are in a quietly unhappy marriage due largely to Bart's drinking. The Buffalo-based Jorgensons - husband Ken Jorgenson, his wife Helen Jorgenson and their late teen-aged daughter Molly Jorgenson - have rented rooms at the inn for the summer, while Ken looks for a summer house on the island. Ken lived on the island 20 years ago when he was a working-class lifeguard for Bart's father at that time. Ken is now a self-made millionaire as a research scientist, who had never been back to the island until now. Ken and Helen too are in an unsatisfying marriage, Helen, a shrew and prude, who seems to hate and mistrust anything and everything, including her husband and daughter. Helen only seems concerned with public perception that their lives are perfect. Upon first meeting, Johnny and Molly fall in love. Meanwhile, Ken and Sylvia rekindle a romance from 20 years earlier, uncertain if Bart knew at the time of their relationship, which did not last because of the differences in their social background. The two romances have a rocky road to potential happiness. Helen does not trust either Johnny or Molly to be morally proper. Ken and Sylvia know that their respective spouses will never consent to divorce, and if they do will do whatever they can so that they will never get to see their children again. And despite knowing that their respective parents are unhappy in their marriages, Johnny and Molly do not approve of a liaison between his mother and her father. Regardless, Ken and Sylvia want to provide their children with as much love and guidance as possible, including encouraging them to follow their hearts while not getting into trouble, a message which may not be heard if only because of Johnny and Molly believing that what they are doing is disgusting, and because of Johnny and Molly's own raging hormones.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyReflecting the sexual angsts and domestic anxieties of the 1950s, Delmer Daves' schmaltzy melodrama is known today for catapulting Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee to stardom and for Max Steiner's melodic tune, which became that year's most popular song.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 4/10 by Steve CrumThe movie is so-so, BUT that great theme music!
User Review - 10/10 by Shari LI can not believe how few people see this film. Great movie. I like it much more than Peyton Place. And I love the ending line: "People who live in glass houses can't throw rocks". (Or something like that)
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis was my most favorite movie of all time. I could watch this over and over again.
User Review - 10/10 by elva bI remember weeping over this movie. I loved it! Troy and Sandra Dee!
User Review - 10/10 by Louis TA classic snapshot of the late fifties. The hypocrisy, the denial, the clothes! It's melodramatic but well done.
User Review - 10/10 by ROSARIO THE DIVALOVED THE MOVIE. TROY DONAHUE WAS VERY HANDSOME. I LOVE LOVE SANDRA DEE.
User Review - 10/10 by Sherry LWonderful teen-movie with Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue as the love couple Molly and Johnny. Ken Jorgenson, his wife and their teenage daughter are planning to spend the summer in Pine Island and rent a house from the Hunters´. Ken Jorgenson had before he got wealthy worked for the family Hunter and then had a teenage romance with Sylvian Hunter. But now both Ken and Sylvia are married to others. Ken is married to a cynical woman who gorvern their daughter Molly with an iron fist. And Sylvia is married to a rather grouchy man who doesn´t care about their teenage son Johnny. Molly and Johnny fall for each other immediately, and so do Molly´s father and Johnny´s mother, in secret of course. But Molly´s mother doesn´t approve her daughter seeing Johnny and make them part. But Molly and Johnny meet, dispite what their parents think. The summer didn´t last forever, so Molly and Johnny have to part after all, and so they do. But then Molly discovers a big problem... she is pregnant. Very filming is about as beautiful as can be, and the acting is very good. The music by Max Steiner is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard and it adds a lot to the movie, and the loving feeling. Very cute and sweet movie. But not "Gidget-sweet", cause Sandra Dee has grown up a bit now and shows that she can handle some more serious acting. Sandra Dee´s best movie, by all means.
User Review - 10/10 by Juliana BVery good, they don't make movies like this any more
User Review - 10/10 by Terry CGreat classic of young love and pregnancy. Haunting theme song is timeless.
