Ray Castor: I watched you. Another type of girl would've killed herself. Want something else?
Tania Scarlotti: No. Not bad. Where did you learn to cook, kidnap school?
Ray Castor: Let's talk about you, for unshift.
Tania Scarlotti: OK. I'm not like you, I'll answer.
Ray Castor: Were you in love with the professor?
Tania Scarlotti: Once, yes. But not anymore.
Ray Castor: That's not very original.
Tania Scarlotti: He's intelligent, kind. Human polities may be finding yourself if you bother to look.
Ray Castor: Those make bad judgements.

Goofs
In one of the boat scenes, after Raymond and Tania become friends, the audio says "Their on top, drying", but Chris Mitchum's mouth stops moving before the sentence is finished, indicating that the sound was added later. See more »Quotes

"Summertime Killer" has some terrific motorcycle chases and stunt work. It has the striking Olivia Hussey and the always solid acting of Karl Malden. Chris Mitchum fills the role of a Basques man seeking revenge on Vallone and his buddies who killed his family many years earlier. Malden is an American detective hired to locate Mitchum. Vallone's activity is much more limited than Malden's.
My copy was from a cable channel and had most of the dialog dubbed, but not all. I probably missed some critical plot points that would have aided the continuity. Otherwise, the movie did come across as somewhat disjointed and lacking in solid forward motion arising from its conflicts. Its love affair was fairly predictable. The ending was unpredictable.
It's a reasonable eurocrime affair that is closest to the poliziotesschi genre, which is where I saw its name listed before hunting for it. I see it as more or less an average entry in this genre, but that still makes it okay in my book.
