M-G-M's Great American Musical!

Summer Holiday is a period drama set in turn-of-the-century Danville, Connecticut, following young Richard Miller as he navigates first love and family life in a middle-class neighborhood. Richard is smitten with his neighbor Muriel, but her father disapproves of their budding romance, largely because Richard fills her head with radical ideas and progressive thinking. Caught between youthful passion and parental opposition, Richard must contend with the clash between his idealistic worldview and the conservative values of those around him. The film captures the tension of adolescence against the backdrop of a changing America, exploring themes of love, rebellion, and coming of age in an era of social transformation.
