Movie: Summertime

Katharine Hepburn stars as Jane Hudson, a middle-aged American schoolteacher fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Italy. Independent, curious, and slightly adrift, Jane arrives in Venice with her camera and sensible shoes, eager to soak in the beauty but wholly unprepared for what she finds: a chance at unexpected romance with Renato (Rossano Brazzi), a charming Italian antiques dealer.

TRIVIA
Having cast Isa Miranda as the older widowed concierge of the hotel, director Sir David Lean was upset to find that she had recently had a facelift and looked too young for the part. Since recasting at that late stage was out of the question, Lean went with it.

PARKING

There are two parking structures. One behind the Friday and the other behind the 4th Street Market. You will need to make payment to park in them. At this time, I don't know what the cost is.
