Storyline
The American secretary Jane Hudson (Katharine Hepburn) travels from Ohio to Venice. Jane is a middle-age single and lonely woman that has saved money for her dream trip. On the arrival, she immediately befriends the owner of the boarding house Signora Fiorini (Isa Miranda). During the night, she goes to a café and an Italian helps her to call the waiter. Jane feels sort of uncomfortable for being alone and on the next day, she sees a red glass goblet in the window of an antique store. The owner, Renato de Rossi (Rossano Brazzi), who is the man that helped her, explains that it is an ancient goblet from the eighteenth century and therefore expensive. Then he also explains that she should always bargain for a lower price in Venice. Jane recognizes Renato from the previous night and becomes clumsy. Soon Renato woos her, but the needy Jane is afraid to love.
『夏日時光』(或譯豔陽天，或稱夏日狂情Summer Madness)是一部苦中帶甜的愛情電影，1955年由大衛連(David Lean)拍攝，並獲多項電影獎提名。故事發生在威尼斯，描述一位美國中年單身婦人珍‧哈德森(Jane Hudson)及瀟灑的威尼斯古董商人倫納德‧羅西(Renato de Rossi)的愛情。珍由凱瑟琳‧赫本(Katharine Hepburn)飾演、倫納德由羅薩諾‧布拉茲(Rossano Brazzi)飾演。珍和倫納德在威尼斯的浪漫氛圍裡，因為購買一只紅色的高腳玻璃酒杯而陷入熱戀。紅色古董玻璃杯代表的是珍自己掩藏的感情，只有碰到識貨的鑑賞家倫納德才能青睞；對珍而言，感情也像是一個聖杯(Holy Grail)，一輩子都在尋尋覓覓而不可得。
在聖馬可廣場舉辦的一場音樂會裡，珍選擇了一把簡單的梔子花束而不是大而豔麗的蘭花，暗示她在威尼斯的戀情雖然甜蜜，卻極短暫。珍甚至在發覺倫納德已有家室及子女後，仍情不自禁地墜入情網。但是珍也不願被這種不正常的關係套牢，因為她相信此情注定失敗。所以她決定離開倫納德，也離開威尼斯。在威尼斯火車站戲劇性的一幕中，倫納德在火車駛離的當兒，從背後追趕載著珍離去的火車。他本想再送給珍一束梔子花當禮物，但已來不及了。正如同梔子花這種美麗的熱帶花卉不適應威尼斯的氣候，珍也發現威尼斯已沒有她容身之處。
淒美而浪漫的愛情電影，也為多變的威尼斯留下另一個輕聲嘆息！
