Oh my God!!! This movie is soooooo romantic! It is one of my favorites! The plot is about some guests at Pine Island. Like Ken and Helen are married and Sylvia and Bart are married. Ken and Helen are Molly's parents and Sylvia and Bart are Johnny's parents. But, Ken really loves Sylvia and Sylvia loves Ken. And later Molly and Johnny fall in love. At first, my dad thought Johnny might really be Ken's son!!! I love how this movie is all over - not just at Pine Island, but also and the boarding schools, Ken and Sylvia's house (Oh my gosh I want that house!!!), etc. Even though it was made in the 50's its still pretty spicy, even by today's standards. And as a plus, its not too dated! Some of my favorites parts are when the aunt overhears Sylvia and Ken in the attic, when Johnny threatens to kill Helen, when Helen tells everyone Ken and Sylvia are having an affair, and when Helen slaps Molly and she breaks the Christmas tree. This movie is just a classic! And the soundtrack makes you wish you could vacation at Pine Island.....
