The kids from that summer in Nantucket in 1942 have now graduated high school
in 1944. Gary Grimes and Jerry Houser go off to college while Oliver
Conant enlists in the Marines.
From a good dramatic coming of age story with Michel Legrand's great Oscar winning score for the Summer of 31, Class Of 44 is a raher pedestrian story that doesn't seem to have a point. The two college kids feel guilty about their third musketeer off to war as well as otherfamily members. Houser who's no kind of student quits and enlists in the army. Grimes is left alone and gets involved with rich and spoiled Deborah Winters.
The ending is minor and low keyed and one is left with wondering what is it I just saw?
Good actors just plain defeated by a pointless story.
