Last Summer (1969)
8/10
Great acting by a young group provides a moving, emotional experience
9 January 2002
Set in one of the most beautiful beach settings on the East Coast, Fire Island, New York, Last Summer centers around the struggles of Rhoda, played brilliantly by Catherine Burns. After meeting the other three main characters on the beach, Burns goes along with them on several adventures in which Rhoda's past tragedies and present hangups come to the forefront. As the story progresses, Burns is drawn closer to the character played by Richard Thomas setting the stage for the stunning conclusion of the film.

These are four young people sharing experiences and feelings together, with happy moments and sad moments. I felt like I was there on the beach with them and it was deeply moving.
