"Summer Lovers" (1982) Starring Peter Gallagher, Daryl Hannah, and Valerie Quennessen

I used to LOVE watching this movie when I was a kid.

Peter is beautiful but kinda awful. Daryl is beautiful but really awful.

I'm not that familiar with Valerie, but she is probably the best actor of the three.

Beautiful locations, and people. Great music. Fucking shit plot.

Is this one where he shows off his pert buttocks?

John Waters once described this film as one where "the characters are all young, rich, nude, and stupid."

Peter Gallagher was a total DILF on The OC. Still beautiful as a middle-aged man

You could write movies yourself, OP, with your superior grasp of the English language.

As a young one, they made me bisexual, and then after more viewings, he made me gay.

This is the one with all that olive oil, right? It was filmed on Santorini.

I just watched this tonight on Blu-Ray (the Twilight Time edition). I really enjoy this movie. A great soundtrack, everyone is gorgeous and I love the carefree vibe of the film. Gallagher was very sexy in this. Valérie Quennessen was very striking and her tragic death a few years after this movie adds to her mystique.

Interestingly on the special features, there are a few screen tests, and Patrick Swayze tested for Gallagher's role. There are some lingering shots of Swayze in a tiny bathing suit getting out of, presumably, Randal Kleiser's pool. There's also a test of him and Valerie together doing the scene after Michael and Lina have had sex. Swayze is fine but Gallagher was the right choice. Patrick and Valerie had zero chemistry.

What’s a dinky?

Valerie Quennessen was such a drip in this film. Terrible actress, did she make any other films?

Peter Gallagher has been a semi-regular on L&O: SVU, think he's still on the series. he still looks good.

Just looked up Valerie, she died at 31! "Shortly after Summer Lovers, Valérie Quennessen appeared in the short We Cannes, filmed during the 1982 film festival by François Manceaux, then gradually retired from acting, choosing to concentrate on raising her family. She and Francois Manceaux had two children, Antoine and Elsa. On March 19, 1989 she died in a car accident on the A13 highway in Saint-Ouen-des-Champs at the age of 31."

I didn’t know that gross actress died. I wonder if Daryl mourned and masturbated while sitting shiva. I wonder if Daryl knows, is she retarded?

I love "Summer Lovers" especially when Barbara Rush and Carole Cook go to visit Rush's daughter, Daryl Hannah, in Santorini and try walking around the cobblestone steps and ruins of Greece in high heels, and Carole Cook asks, "When are they going to finish Greece?"

Peter Gallagher was a hunk. Valerie Quennessen was simply gorgeous. Great music. One of the best summer movies ever.

Gallagher looks like Robby Benson

I remember seeing this, at at drive in, I think, definitely 2nd feature, but only remember the Chicago song at the end.

Daryl was a simpleton. Madonna I refused to meet.

The song "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1982.

1982, when men had pubic hair.

Valerie Quennessen played a kidnapped Princess in Conan the Barbarian

Ah, the old kidnapped princess ploy.

Ugh, was this the movie that started the lame-but-ongoing female bisexuality trend?
