Summertime (1955)
Directed by David Lean

What critics compared Summertime to
There's a touch of Katharine Hepburn in Summertime during the film's Kyoto sequences, where Charlotte wanders temple gardens and observes local ceremonies.
There is little sense, as there is in, say, the Venice of David Lean's Summertime or the Vienna of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise, that the city and its residents are tangible places and people among which the characters do indeed have affecting, intimate experiences.
