Forget about Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon: this beach blanket is being pitched on the Baltic Sea and East German pop idols Chris Doerk and Frank Schöbel are lovin' and fightin'. After a number of serious (and banned) films on teenagers, this bit of fluff lit up East German box offices in 1968. The blend of pop songs, rock, and upbeat lyrics kept the soundtrack on the hit parade for more than a year. Resurrected in the '90s as a cult item, Hot Summer is definitely unique--a bit goofy, a bit naive, but a genuine cultural artifact nonetheless. Like Grease in America a decade later, this frothy piece of escapism was an unexpected hit at a time when movie musicals seemed beyond revival. 91 minutes, in German with English subtitles, 1968. Though working behind the Iron Curtain, director Hasler and his handsome cast imbue every frame with all the cheerful energy, playful romance, and corny innocence of a Southern California beach party. Hot Summer is a charming rarity not to be missed! --UCLA Film and Television Archive. | | | | Products related to "Hot Summer (Widescreen Edition)" from Amazon.com | |
