This film, starring Burt Lancaster, is based on a short story by American writer, John Cheever, and is about a man who, one mid-summer's day, decides to get home by swimming across all the pools in the county.
The story is highly praised for its blend of realism and surrealism, its use of myth and symbolism, and it is an exploration of suburban America, especially the relationship between wealth and happiness. Personally, I just quite like the idea of watching Burt Lancaster running in some tiny shorts.
