One of my very favorites


It's been years since I saw this, and I only saw it once, but I loved it. It reminded me so much of On Golden Pond. It had the same semi-orange and fadedness to the picture, and it was about an old couple reaching the ends of their lives.

I don't remember the exact scenario. It was based on a couple and showed constant flashbacks. The husband (Henry Fonda plays him when he's older, and Stephen Collins when he's younger) was a constant cheater on his wife, but through the flashbacks and seeing the couple when they're old show that they managed to work through it all.

I wish I could see it again; I've been waiting for years for it to be shown on TV. It's really too bad that it's not on DVD; I would do anything to get a copy of it on DVD just to see it again. Henry Fonda is one of my very favorite actors of all time; I think he did his very best in his older years (Yours, Mine and Ours, On Golden Pond, Meteor, etc.).

One of my favorites, also. I hope someone is going to come up w/ it on DVD or TV, but neither NETFLIX nor ROTTEN TOMATOES even acknowledges its existence, which is not hopeful.

John-herbert22 - although it's now five years since you posted, I think Summer Solstice is available on Amazon Instant Videos.
