  • SUMMER STORM is a remarkably effective Hollywood adaptation of Anton Chekhov's THE SHOOTING PARTY. Linda Darnell stars as Olga, the young and beautiful wife of a middle-aged Russian civil servant (Hugo Haas). Olga becomes the object of the affections of her husband's employer, a lecherous count (Edward Everett Horton), and in turn is enamored of a provincial judge (George Sanders). At first, all flirtations are playful and harmless, but the judge takes Olga so seriously that he ends up killing her in a jealous rage. Her husband is blamed for the crime, but the count gets his comeuppance during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution (which didn't figure into the original Chekhov story, inasmuch as the author died in 1904). The big surprise in this is not that it works as well as it does, but that it features comic actor Edward Everett Horton in a straight, almost unsympathetic role, which he underplays beautifully.
