Summer Storm Details

Originally aired in 1970, with Peter Ustinov in the lead, Rod Serling's tele-drama has been respectfully revived by veteran director Robert Wise. Peter Falk assumes the role of the Fairview deli owner whose jaundiced outlook is slowly transformed by the arrival of Aaron Meeks, a young New Yorker afforded the opportunity of an upstate vacation by a charity run by city sophisticate, Nastassja Kinski. The oft-spurned Andrew McCarthy ably completes the cast, as Falk's irresponsible nephew. But the focus falls firmly on the unlikely cross-generational rapport that develops between the embittered outsiders, who have both lost loved ones in war.

It's heart is in the right place, it's lustful eye is all over the place.
