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.

Cox action
It's a preposterous story but what the hell. Summer Storm is made with such vim and the young cast are so engaging that I was quite happy to let myself get caught up in it. It's not just gay teenage angst - there are a lot of fun moments and some surprisingly erotic ones, too. Good stuff.

Watchable and fun
This coming of age / coming out story has a teen flick feel to it but perhaps far less comedy.
It was a watchable and fun film. However, at times it lacks realism (the gay rowing team for example seems to conform to every gay stereotype) and the main character (who realises he is gay) is a little frustrating at times - he spends most of the film moody and miserable instead of enjoying the fact he has a beautiful boy (from the rowing team) falling for him! -
