<P> The movie was shot in Pacific Grove and around the Monterey Peninsula . Sloan Wilson wrote the first screenplay, which covered the 22 - year span of the novel . Delmer Daves focused the new draft on one year . Daves said: </P> <P> I have two kids who are just about the same age of these two in A Summer Place and I know how difficult communication between generations can be . And while this may sound corny, it can be assisted by love and understanding . Amid some rather tempestuous social activities, this is what we are trying to demonstrate . That there are two affairs may sound sensational but that's not the point . We have received the approval of the Johnstone office because the intent of the picture is a moral one . Frankness and impatience will help pull the cork on a situation blocked by intolerance . What we are trying to do is dramatise that pulling of the cork . </P> <P> Some exterior and interior scenes involving Ken and Sylvia's beach house were filmed at Frank Lloyd Wright's Clinton Walker House, built in 1948 . In the film, Sylvia tells Molly that Wright designed the house, ostensibly located on the East Coast near the movie's "Pine Island" location (since Molly and Johnny drive from Pine Island to the house after being sent away by the justice of the peace). In reality, Walker House is located on the beach side of Scenic Road on Monterey Bay in Carmel, California . The real house has only one level, although in the movie, the house is depicted as if it has a lower level at the same level as the beach . Additional scenes were filmed at the Honeymoon Cottage located at Mission Ranch in Carmel </P> <P> The movie became popular after its release but had a mixed critical reception . Rotten Tomatoes sampled 6 reviewers and judged 83% of the reviews to be positive . </P>
