Summer of the Seventeenth Doll (U.S. title: Season of Passion) is a 1959 Australian-British film directed by Leslie Norman and starring Ernest Borgnine, Anne Baxter, John Mills and Angela Lansbury. It was written by John Dighton based on the 1955 Ray Lawler play Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. It has been called "one of the most frustrating movies ever made in Australia" because "it had terrific source material, the backing of a Hollywood studio, a decent group of filmmakers" but the result was critically and commercially underwhelming.
