TV Movie - "Summer Girl" starring Barry Bostwick
This was a really good suspense drama that aired back in 1983.  The TV movie was based on the novel by Caroline Crane.  Great book!  The movie starred Barry Bostwick & Kim Darby as a married couple, who hire a young woman named Cinni to work for the family and help take care of there two young children, while at their beach house for the summer.  The part of Cinni was played very well by a young Diane Franklin (I think this was her third movie).  Given that Shout! has released Spin City on DVD (starring Bostwick), maybe they can acquire the rights to this movie and release it on DVD, with bonus features that include a reunion with Barry, Kim, and Diane!  Maybe even David Faustino (Married...with Children), who'd played the family's son.

I just wanted to bring this movie to the forefront again since my original thread 3 months ago.  I believe this TV movie based on a novel by Caroline Crane is a great suspense-drama, worthy of a DVD release.  Please look into this Shout! Factory.

Does anyone know who owns the rights to this TV movie?  I know this movie has never been released on DVD and I think it also was never released on VHS either.  I remember I had it on tape at one time (many, many years ago), but I believe I'd recorded it when it aired on television numerous years ago.  Would love to own a copy of this on DVD!

I found out this TV movie was distributed by Lorimar Television, which of course means that it is likely owned by WB now.  I hope and pray that Shout! can license this from them and release it, saving it from a barebones Warner Archive release someday.

Not a big fan of romantic TV movies but the same year he made one that's a favorite of mine, "An Uncommon Love" (also Lorimar) opposite the gorgeous secret hookers Kathryn Harrold and a young Holly Hunter, would love a DVD of that one coming out.

The television movie "Summer Girl" has not been released on DVD. It was however released on VHS. I believe it may be available on Amazon for $49.95. The seller stated that they have two (2) copies of the movie. I recorded it back when it aired on television, but after a while the tapes wear out. Good Luck from the Pumpkin King.
