"Theme from A Summer Place" is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by #MaxSteiner, written for the 1959 film #ASummerPlace, which starred #SandraDee and #TroyDonahue. It was recorded for the film as an instrumental theme by Steiner. Originally known as the "Molly and Johnny Theme", this lush extended cue, as orchestrated by #MurrayCutter, is not the #mainTitle theme of the film, but an oft-heard love #leitmotif for the characters played by Dee and Donahue.

@globalmuseum Interesting to watch, but I must admit a high level of cognitive dissonance having to listen to Percy Faith's version of 'Theme From "A Summer Place"'', which is the definitive elevator music song and very much of its era (which was 1959).

"According to Panzoler, it can be difficult to extinguish fires in Victorian buildings because of their old construction techniques. In this case, the fire got into the space between the interior and exterior walls and quickly ran all the way up to the third floor attic."
