Summer of ’42 is a well made and poignant coming-of-age movie featuring two excellent performances from Gary Grimes and Jennifer O’Neil that it makes it a worthwhile watch, albeit a tad creepy.

| Summer of ’42 comes to Blu-ray through Warner’s Archive Collection, presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a new 1080p high-definition transfer. Detail is relatively sharp and colors were fairly vibrant. The picture is also pretty clean, free of major signs of artifacts or any other flaws. The included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track which was satisfactory given this is almost entirely dialogue driven with some minor ambient noises and the score making up the rest of the sounds. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Overall, Summer of ’42 is a well made and poignant coming-of-age movie featuring two excellent performances from Gary Grimes and Jennifer O’Neil that it makes it a worthwhile watch, albeit a tad creepy. The Blu-ray released by the Warner Archive Collection features good video and audio transfers but not much in the way of bonus material. |
