VHS Movie Reviews of Long Hot Summer
Movie Review: One of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
For all the romantics out there this is one of the best ever ! If you are a lover of romance, fighter for the underdog or just plain love Don Johnson then this is the movie for you. I can't understand why it is not available on dvd ... it would be a big seller if it was. Movie Review: Better than Newman and Welles
Summary: 5 Stars
Remakes seldom hold a candle to the originals, but this remake is head and shoulders above its source material. At the heart of it are two standout performances by Don Johnson and Jason Robards who explode from the small screen with such power as to leave the two fine actors in the dust who originally played the parts of Ben Quick and Old Man Varner. Combined with incredible production values and a fine supporting cast, the 85' version thoroughly supplants the 58' version as the definitive dramatic rendition of the work of William Faulkner. Bring it to DVD, please!!!!!Movie Review: "Tame me." Deserving the DVD Treatment.
Summary: 4 Stars
A favorite feature. Don Johnson and Judith Ivey are spectacular, the supporting cast stellar, without exception (yes, right down to Rance Howard).
Awaiting a remastered DVD release.

wish the long hot summer starring Don,Johnson,was out in dvd fullscreen any screen,I have 2 copys in vhs, hope you will be able to offer this movie in dvd soon. Aloha ,Jerrye KarpikMovie Review: Accurate Title
Summary: 5 Stars
The title of this movie exemplifies the movie's passion and sexiness, especially Don Johnson's topless scenes! (This is must for Don Johnson fans!!) Don gives this movie what was missing in the original when Paul Newman played the same role. (Don't get me wrong, Paul also played a great interpretation of the same role in the original, but Johnson adds an energetic passion that was missing in the original character.) Cybill Shepherd also plays a sexy role in this movie...especially as a character you would expect a wealthy Southern son to buy! The Hot Summer Southern nights surely do not cool off with either of these actors around!
Different character representation and interpretations are specific qualities each actor contributes in this film. While I am not undermining the quality of the original version's creativity, this version is a more modern interpretation of the original. Highly enjoyable with quite a bit more action than the original, this version brings a bit more viewing pleasure and less "dragging" as is sometimes experienced with the original.
What is most enjoyable about this movie (both versions), is its education and cultural representation of "Southern values and prejudices." If you love movies about the south, you'll surely enjoy this one! Both versions are "Southern Classics" in their own right!!
One downfall is the lack of availability on DVD. I believe this movie would once again become more popular if it was available on DVD. I would definitely buy it! Even though it is only available on VHS, this is not a movie with parts you would want to "skip over" or "jump to the next scene," as ALL of the scenes in this version are excellent!
