Product Description:
An american visits his italian villa in the off-season and catches his caretaker running it as a hotel. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/06/2003 Starring: Rock Hudson Gina Lollobrigida Run time: 112 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Robert Mulligan
Amazon.com:
Hanging out at an Italian villa with Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida sounds like a painless way to kill a vacation--and Come September is a pretty painless movie, too. Rock is a millionaire who spends a month at his home on the Riviera every year, except this year he's come early and surprised his staff, who've been running the place as a paying hotel. This is one of those comedies of sexual frustration--Rock can't get alone with Gina, because the 'hotel' is overrun with American teenagers (chief among them Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin, who married after meeting on the shoot). The plot is labored, and director Robert Mulligan shows little feel for farce (he would shortly hit his stride with To Kill a Mockingbird). At least the location shooting has a nice summer breeze to it, and Darin sings 'Multiplication' in a nightclub, complete with hepcat moves. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Totally Delightful
This movie is just full of stars that will never be forgotten...
I watched this movie with my mother so very many times when I was a little girl.
When I watch it now I can almost still feel her sitting next to me laughing.

"Come September" (1961) is a light, funny, and delightfully old-fashioned romantic comedy which is as charming as the colorful dresses the girls were wearing during "Age of Innocence," a period that extended roughly from the end of World War II into the mid-1960s, and as pretty as the Italian seaside where American millionaire Robert Talbot (dashing Rock Hudson) has a luxurious villa. For six years, he's been spending his vacation there in September with his Italian girlfriend, Lisa Fellini - a stunningly beautiful and sensual Gina Lollobrigida. One year, he changed his plans and arrived in July. To Talbot's utter surprise he found out that his devoted major-domo, Maurice (Walter Slezak stole all his scenes as an employee who has his very own ideas of loyalty and devotion) , has been making nice money by turning his villa into a popular and posh hotel "La Dolce Vista" once his employer leaves for America. Lisa is tired of being a " September girl" and decides to marry another man. On the top of all, Talbot finds himself chaperoning a group of six American teenage girls vacationing in Italy, and fighting a generational war with the group of four American college boys whose hotel reservation he cancelled and who settled in a tent just outside the villa and began courting the girls. Talbot's biggest concern is Tony (Bobby Darin), the leader of the gang, a medical student who wants to seduce young and innocent blonde Sandy (Sandy Dee), the psychology major. The film is a nice way to spend ... Read More

Rating: - Summer breeze keeps coming in September
Robert Talbot (Rock Hudson) visits his beautiful villa in July instead of his regular trips that comes in September. His girlfriend Lisa Fellini (Gina Lollobrigida) has given up waiting for him and has decided to marry an Englishman named Spencer (Ronald Howard). Meanwhile other surprises are in the works, like his villa is converted into a hotel by his staff lead by his butler, Maurice Clavell (Walter Slezak), and the hotel is full of guests; mainly a group of young American women, and a chaperone named Brenda de Banzie (Margaret Allison)) with an eye for Maurice. It is hilarious to watch as the staff tries to keep that secret from Talbot, but it won't be a secret long. In the mean time Lisa breaks off the engagement and stays at Talbot's Villa. Then comes the trouble; a group of American male students arrive at the hotel on a prior reservation, but Talbot cancels the reservation. Then students camp just outside the villa, and start dating the young women who are staying as guests of the hotel. Soon these students find an "ally" in Lisa who supports their camp. Talbot gets real worried and his fatherly instincts get better of him, and he forces himself to "protect" the girls while they are on date with the boys by chaperoning them. It is hilarious to watch as the boys try to outsmart him by losing him during a date or during a picnic but to no avail.
There are some hilarious moments that include; when Lisa snubs the sisters of Spencer who come to meet her; and constant man - woman type ... Read More
