Director Frank Perry made one other notable film

"Last Summer" a year later, which stars a young ( + beautiful ) Barbara Hershey

While I found "The Swimmer" on VHS easilly enough, "Last Summer" I've never been able to find on any format until I did a websearch today + see it's downloadable off the Net + only since last month ( ! )

Interesting that Ebert considers "The Swimmer" to be Lancasters finest role; it's a tough call as he never made a bad film, but I'm inclined to agree, no-one else could have played Ned Merrill with such a mixture of wide-eyed optimism, sincerity + tragedy
Lancasters performance transforms what could have been a average + forgettable film into a masterpiece
