3.0 out of 5 stars Summer and Smoke Jan 7 2011
By Pen Name
Format:DVD
This movie had a lot of potential, but it was a little too long and it fizzled out in the last quarter or so of the movie. The way it ended could be set up for a sequel but there is nothing to follow this. I am still waiting for the ending. If you like movies to end happily ever after or you want to see it all tied up in a bow (so to say) this movie will disappoint. Both main characters went through life changing transformations that I think were not developed and portrayed very well. The ending did not relate to the flow of the movie at all!!...In my opinion some writer or director should rewrite the last half of the movie and you would have a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant film ... still not on DVD ? (The wait is over!! See my postscript) April 16 2006
By brucie boy
Format:VHS Tape
I've been a huge fan of Geraldine Page for years as well as of Tennessee Williams' plays. Why does the DVD boxed set of Tennessee Williams' plays-on-film not contain "Summer and Smoke" (showcasing yet another brilliant powerhouse performance by the incomparable Geraldine Page)? (At least a couple of buried treasures are included in the boxed set: "Baby Doll" and "Night of the Iguana".) Guess, I'll keep waiting ...

p.s. Finally!! Four and a half years after I wrote this review, this film containing the remarkable performance by the amazing late Geraldine Page is now on DVD !! Thank you to whomever !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Page: Shatteringly brilliant Feb 9 2004
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Thank God for the wonders of Ms. Geraldine Page. If it weren't for her, I doubt that the film would have the same effect. A tragedy unfolds and Ms. Page gives us all emotional aspects of the character she portrays. It is hard to believe that she is not Alma (the character she plays) because her sense of reality in the film is so strong. A lesson for all actors -- she has obviously done her homework -- she is concentrated and resonates with that human pain that exists within all of us. I sorely miss her. I remember seeing this film as a child in the theater and young as I was, I knew I was watching someone extraordinary. We would have sorely lost out without her.
