Dir. David Lean (US 1955, 100mins PG)

Make an afternoon of it. . .

Katharine Hepburn is wonderful in Lean’s favourite film (re-mastered) as the American spinster whose dream of romance becomes a bittersweet reality in a glorious technicolour VenIce.

Like all David Lean films, Summertime should be seen on the big screen. . .
