Warner Archive has revealed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of director Robert Mulligan's film
Summer of '42 (1971), starring Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes, Jerry Houser, Lou Frizzell, and Walter Scott. The preliminary street date for the upcoming release is November 7.
Synopsis: Winning an Academy Award for Best Musical Score (Michel Legrand) and nominated for three additional Oscars, this box-office hit is the sensual, heartwarming and sentimental story of three 15-year-old boys who spend a pleasant but sometimes painful summer vacation in New England. While his friends fumble with girls their own age, one boy finds first love in the arms of Jennifer O'Neill ("Bare Essence"), a young war bride. An appealingly nostalgic and touching story rated three stars by Leonard Maltin.
