I remember watching in on VHS with my mom when I was in high school.

When we were honeymoon planning, a friend of the family referenced the movie and the spots on St. John, which was part of the reason St. John was immediately placed at the top of the list. I remember the scene with the sail boat.

I must put it on my Netflix list immediately.

Parafins,
You are going to love The Four Seasons! I've owned it for several years (bought it at a used book sale at a library near my town for $2.00). You are indeed right about the Hawksnest Bay location. The sandbar scene is located at the far western end of Gibney beach. Of course, the Gibney cottages were not there when the movie was made but the original Gibney house was and it had to be airbrushed out.

The (unseen) skipper who sailed the boat in the movie is Capt. Rick Falkenberg. Rick owned a yawl, the Tevake, which he moored in Cinnamon Bay for many years. Rick loved to tell the stories about how he had to lay down on the deck and work all the rigging from that position so he wouldn't be seen on camera!

I think I'll drag out my copy of the movie and enjoy it again for the bizillionth time!

If I recall, it is yet another movie where the Alan Alda character is accused of being too judgemental...

I wonder if this is when Mr. Alda started coming down to STJ?

I've never heard of this movie but if there are scenes of St. John in it I will have to watch! Heck, I even sat through that awful Christopher Columbus movie, and the creepy shark one, just to see the background scenery.
