LAST WEEK'S WINNERS: Last week we asked readers to name two pre-1975 films with the word "summer" in the title, both with memorable instrumental theme songs, for which the composers won Oscars. Marie T. Sciarretta of Clearwater and others got the answers we were going for: A Summer Place, with a theme by Max Steiner, and Summer of '42, with a theme by Michel Legrand. She wins the random drawing for a Weekend T-shirt. But Lynda Maxey of Spring Hill was smarter than all of us. She got Summer of '42 and Legrand, but pointed out that no other film with "summer" in the title had won an Oscar for its music. She's right. While Steiner is an Oscar-winning film composer, he did not win for A Summer Place. For reminding us that precision and a good Internet search are key, she also gets a T-shirt.
