The Long Days of Summer is a 1980 American made-for-television drama film and a sequel to When Every Day Was the Fourth of July (1978). Taking place one year later, the story follows now 13-year-old Danny (Ronnie Scribner, taking over the role played Chris Peterson in the 1978 film) and the Cooper family in 1938, as they begin to experience the effects of growing antisemitism in their small New England town, paralleling what is happening overseas in Adolf Hitler's Germany. The film was produced and directed by Dan Curtis and stars Dean Jones, Donald Moffat, Scribner and Louanne.
