Trivia:
Katharine Hepburn's apartment is actually an amalgam of three different locations. The door through which she enters the apartment belongs to the Trattoria Sempione, a restaurant that still exists today. Her bedroom belongs to an apartment two miles away in the suburb of Dursoduro, and the terrace was a purpose-built set in Compo San Vio. more

A breezy good time, 8 April 2003
9/10
Author: MasterMinogue from San Diego

Wow, this film is just a great time! Having "holidayed" a lot on my own, I could relate to Jane in Venice. You can see yourself in Katharine Hepburn's portrayal of the lonely spinster. This movie is so entertaining, I had a smile on my face the entire time.

Wonderful views of Venice, tour de force performances by the leads,

Summertime is a great movie to sit back with a glass of wine & just enjoy.
