Director Frank Perry filmed at Fire Island locations with a cast of Catherine Burns, Barbara Hershey, Bruce Davison and Richard Thomas. The memorable performance by Burns brought her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and she won a Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award. Her career continued for another 15 years until she dropped out of sight.

Eleanor Perry's screenplay was based on the novel by Evan Hunter. The film follows the random activities of four teens during a summer on Fire Island.

The film is based on a story 'Unless the Eye Catch Fire...' by the Canadian writer PK Page and describes the actions and thoughts of an elderly woman living in a quiet garden suburb during the final few months when the Earth warms up. While on one level an example of poetic science-fiction on ecological issues, the story unfolds the metaphysics of the transient human existence and deals with death as a transition dissolving borders between the human soul and universe.
