In the Summertime () is a 1971 Italian romantic drama film co-written and directed by Ermanno Olmi. It premiered in competition at the 32nd edition of the Venice Film Festival.
The film was produced by RAI, with Palumbo Film serving as co-producer. It was mainly shot in Milan. The cast mostly consisted on non-professional actors.
The film had its premiere at the 32nd Venice International Film Festival, in the main competition section.
Morando Morandini described the film as "an overly explicit parable", and wrote: "Here, [...] realism is not [effectively] blended with the fabulous; it feels as though Olmi focused too much on the message [of the film] and not enough with how to give it shape". Similarly, Leo Pastelli from La Stampa referred to it as "so tasteful in its framing, [but] not very secure in its tone, which combines, without fusing them, the realistic or even the veristic (with its relative slowness) with the fabulous". A contemporary Variety review noted: "In The Summertime, even as a minor Olmi work, again reflects the film author's unmistakeable leaning toward tenderness and sensitivity in searching for positive qualities of man's condition in a world prone to cynicism and destructive violence".
