The Swimmer

In an affluent Connecticut suburb, troubled suburbanite Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) confronts all of his dreams...and deceptions. One summer morning he decides to "swim" home via the pools of his wealthy friends. Along the way he encounters several women from his past: a tempestuous teenage girl (Janet Landgard), teetering at the edge of adolescence and womanhood; his embittered ex-mistress (Janice Rule); and the sensual wife of an old friend (Kim Hunter).
