Watch: L’Été meurtrier 1983 123movies, Full Movie Online – Oozing sensuality, the seductively alluring Eliane Wieck arrives in a frilly dress carrying a small suitcase, with her demure German mother and disabled father, at a rural southern-French town. Pin-Pon, a car mechanic and volunteer firefighter, instantly falls for the charms of the mysterious newcomer, and before long they get married. However, was it love at first sight for Eliane too? What links her enigmatic presence to the family’s dust-covered old mechanical piano in the barn? What drives the cryptic young woman? Is it hungry curiosity–or something far more sinister?.
Plot: In spring 1976, a 19-year-old beauty, her German-born mother, and her crippled father move to the town of a firefighter nicknamed Pin-Pon. Everyone notices the provocative Eliane. She singles out Pin-Pon and soon is crying on his shoulder (she’s myopic and hates her reputation as a dunce and as easy); she moves in with him, knits baby clothes, and plans their wedding. Is this love or some kind of plot? She asks Pin-Pon’s mother and aunt about the piano in the barn: who delivered it on a November night in 1955? Why does she want to know, and what does it have to do with her mother’s sorrows, her father’s injury, this quick marriage, and the last name on her birth certificate?

Typically French and typically superb.
Newcomer to the village, Eilane, (Isabelle Adjani), is certainly a stunner and soon she’s driving all the boys wild but it’s mechanic and fireman ‘Pin-Pon’, (Alain Souchon), who woos her and wins her even though on their first date he sees a side to her that would have most men fleeing to the hills. Eilane may indeed be gorgeous but she’s also clearly psychotic or worse. Jean Becker’s “One Deadly Summer” is just yet another in a long line of superb French thrillers in which bad things take place in bright sunlight and people seem to have an ulterior motive for everything while Adjani joins a long list of very fatal femmes. She’s terrific as usual but then so is everyone else in a movie that sets out its stall early on and then proceeds to give to the cold creeps for the next two hours. If you wished you could call it Chabrolian but I think this is a darker film than even Chabrol might have given us. Well worth seeking out.
A teasing thriller
Isabelle Adjani is good, and voluptuous as ever as Eliane, a recent arrival with her mother in a small rural village. She flirts about in her short skirt, and catches the eye of a man named Pin Pon. They are soon dating, and it isn’t long before they are married. Pin Pon’s mother takes a dislike to Eliane. Eliane asks a lot of questions, especially about an old piano that was delivered in 1955. The story gradually unfolds to show us flashbacks of that fateful day back then. Eliane is here for a purpose of revenge. The film gathers pace towards its shocking conclusion.
