Interesting facts

One Brief Summer is a 1971 British drama film directed by John Mackenzie, the first feature film he directed. It stars Felicity Gibson and Clifford Evans. The British Film Institute called it "one of many '60s films to explore a relationship between a middle-aged man and a young woman".

Production

The film was based on an unproduced play by Harry Tierney. He met producer Guido Coen (who made Baby Love (1969) and Penthouse (1967)) and they formed a partnership to make the film. Peter Egan was best known for the 1969 TV series Big Breadwinner Hog and Clifford Evans for The Power Game (TV series 1965–1969).

Filming began in August 1969 at Twickenham Studios and mostly took place in and around a country house in Hildenborough, Kent, belonging to diamond millionaire Richard Harris. Felicity Gibson was the niece of Guy Gibson and it was her first film; she had a nude scene.
