After searching off and on for years, I finally located a decent DVD copy of this movie! I hadn't seen it since probably sometime in the Seventies, but it always stuck in my mind as a very classy, cosmopolitan made-for-television movie. Back in the 60's and early 70's there were many good TV movies; and some, like this flick, that could easily have been theatrical releases. The performances are uniformly excellent, the dialog sparkles, and the cat-and-mouse plot twists are terrific!
As almost every reviewer has asked for this movie to be made available, I will tell you that I got my copy from an individual selling thru the Ioffer.com website (in fact, there were about 3 different folks selling copies now!). Mine was taken from British TV, and while it does briefly show a movie ID card at commercial breaks, there are no commercials. From the running time it looks to be a complete copy, and is of fairly good quality. I've gotten all types of quality from Ioffer sources, ranging from excellent to lousy -- but I'd have to say this is one of the better ones! Definitely very watchable. And ordering couldn't be easier -- all you have to do is visit the Ioffer website, and type in "How I Spent My Summer Vacation", and it will show who's offering it. Then a quick registration, and you can purchase (most Ioffer vendors take secure pymt thru Paypal, or Google Checkout, or the usual check, money order, etc.). ENJOY!
