A pair of Hollywood legends got together to do this film in what would turn out to be their last timeout. This was Henry Fonda's last role and Myrna Loy's lst
film role. She did guest star role on Tony Randall's show Love Sidney a few years later and hung it up after that.
Lots of similarities to this and Fonda's On Golden Pond where he and Katharine Hepburn won Oscars. Both involve aged couples in a setting involving water.
On Golden Pond is just that on a favorite lake where the two spent much time. Summer Solstice has the aged Fonda and Loy at the Cape Cod sea shore where they met and it seems that all the significant moments of their lives are spent at Cape Cod. Playing earlier versions of the stars are Stephen Collins and Lindsay Crouse and the two do very well as younger versions of Fonda and Loy.
Summer Solstice has a much sadder tone than On Golden Pond. Still it is a life and love affirming movie about two people so right for each other and how they make it through lfe together.
