That Summer is a 2017 Danish-Swedish-American documentary film directed by Göran Olsson. It consists of previously lost footage shot in 1972 at the Grey Gardens estate in East Hampton, New York. The footage, intended for a shelved documentary about the family of Lee Radziwill, shows Radziwill visiting and interacting with "Big Edie" and "Little Edie", her aunt and cousin who would later gain fame from the documetary Grey Gardens by the Maysles Brothers, shot only three years later. The brothers were hired by Radziwill and photographer Peter Beard to film the footage for their film, and later returned to the estate to make their own documentary of just the Beales.
That Summer is divided into several sections. Each of the four reels gets its own part, while the entire film is bookended by a segment of Beard on work,
