This photo-filled viewing guide presents a festival of sunshine classics - movies that capture the spirit of the most carefree season of the year through epic beach parties, road trips, baseball diamonds, summer camp, or some intangible mood that brought the heat.

Packed with reviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and a trove of images, Turner Classic Movies Summer Movies takes an in-depth look at thirty films from the silent era to the present that reflect the full range of how summer has been depicted on screen, both by Hollywood and by international filmmakers.
