"Summer Romance" is the apotheosis of the summer song, jumping like a convertible with tight shocks on the way to Jones Beach.

Using camera tracks, point-of-view shots and disorienting cuts, the director can reveal or conceal, lead and mislead the viewer into a position as vulnerable as that of a fair-haired virgin in an old dark house. De Palma knows all about this. His camera glides down corridors and through rooms as elegantly as a downhill racer with murder on his mind.
