Kate Classic: Summertime (1955) Katharine Hepburn stars as Jane Hudson, a middle aged, unmarried secretary from Akron, Ohio, who embarks on a dream vacation alone to Venice.
Loneliness threatens to ruin her time until she meets an Italian antique store owner (Rossano Brazzi).
Hepburn’s sensitive portrayal earned her a sixth Oscar nomination and David Lean’s atmospheric direction earned him a Best Director nod.
Beautifully shot on location in Venice. 1h40m.
Orchestra level accessible by elevator; balcony accessible by stairs only.
