After leaving the convent with Audrey, I put in the laserdisc of SUMMER HOLIDAY. I hadn't watched this laserdisc in years, and it was nice to see it again. I'm looking forward to hearing the soundtrack CD which I got this week featuring many of the outtakes and deleted songs that didn't make it into the picture. I had that private issue LP of the SUMMER HOLIDAY soundtrack years ago, but as I hadn't seen the film at the time I bought that LP, the songs didn't make much of an impression on me.
The quality of the print used on the laserdisc is quite variable. Most of it is deep, rich Technicolor, but there are sequences that are very pale in color, and there's some print damage here, too.
I am not holding my breath for Warners to ever release this film on DVD, so the laser will have to be it, I suppose. I did enjoy "The Stanley Steamer Song" and "Independence Day" in the score very much.
