TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to Stanley Kubrick's wife Christiane Kubrick, this was one of his favorite films.

In a 2002 Scripps Treasure Coast Publishing interview with Herman Raucher, he said he had no idea how old Dorothy was; she could have been 20, for all he knew.

Although Dorothy wished Hermie only good things in her letter to him, still Hermie ended up facing several depressing incidents after she left him. Herman Raucher was severely depressed about not hearing from Dorothy after she left. Raucher's sister's fiancé died in 1944, his father passed away when he was 20, and his best friend Oscy died on Raucher's 24th birthday. Since the death of Oscy, Raucher never was able to celebrate his birthday again.

Maureen Stapleton is the uncredited off-screen voice of Hermie's mother. Hermie's date for the movies, Aggie, is played by Katherine Allentuck, Stapleton's real-life daughter.

In a 2002 Scripps Treasure Coast Publishing interview, Herman Raucher mentions that this film gave birth to the book "Summer of '42". Raucher revealed that this movie was written first; not the book. When this film was in post-production, someone told him to write the book about Summer of '42 to help publicize the picture. Raucher wrote the book in about 3 or 4 weeks.

Popular Dialogues

"Narrator: [voice-over] Nothing from that first day I saw her and no one that has happened to me since, has ever been as frightening and as confusing. For no person I've ever known has ever done more to make me feel more sure, more insecure, more important and less significant."

"[last lines] Narrator: [voice-over] I was never to see her again. Nor was I ever to learn what became of her. We were different then. Kids were different. It took us longer to understand the things we felt. Life is made up of small comings and goings. And for everything we take with us, there is something that we leave behind. In the summer of '42, we raided the Coast Guard station four times, we saw five movies, and had nine days of rain. Benji broke his watch, Oscy gave up the harmonica, and in a very special way, I lost Hermie forever."
