Description
Joseph Losey's film adaptation of L.P. Hartley's novel was shot entirely in Norfolk in 1970.
The production, which brought together playwright Harold Pinter and acclaimed director Joseph Losey, tells the story of a young boy's loss of innocence during a hot summer in late Victorian England.
After years of dispute over the rights to the book, the idyllic summer filming period was followed by further intrigue and drama, culminating in the film's success at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or.
