ShangLuda Admirable film.

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

JohnHowardReid Any film with Walter Slezak is a potentially interesting movie, and "Come September" with its attractive photography and clever film editing, is no exception. In this one, Slezak has an opportunity to speak Italian. In one of the film's cleverest sequences, he mistranslates Rock's protestations to the police. His Italian is fluent but still spoken with his characteristic German accent. And as usual, he is a sheer delight. Bobby Darin is much less amusing. In fact, he's as boorish as usual. I wasn't enamored of the strident Miss Dee either, but Lollo is exquisitely clothed and dishabille. Good old Rock looks appropriately confused, but there's some clever directorial work at the climax in which Rock and the police gesticulate on one side of the train window to the silently mouthing Lollo on the other!

SimonJack "Come September" is a light comedy and romance that mixes two movie generations. The one, with Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida, were stars for the baby boomer generation in its teens (1950s-1960s). The other, with Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, represented those teens. Although, when this film was made, Darin and Dee were married (Dec. 1960). He was 25 years old and an established singing star and Dee already had a dozen movies behind her as a 19-year-old. In this film, they are both college students. Hudson plays a wealthy American, Robert Talbot, who spends a lot of time in Europe creating business mergers and other deals to build his empire. A few years earlier, he had bought a villa in Italy, and each September he retreats to his villa to relax. He has a local female love interest who looks forward to his annual retreats. Gina Lollobrigida plays Lisa Fellini. The movie was filmed at locations around Italy. The source of much of the humor in this film is Walter Slezak who plays Maurice Cavell, major domo of Robert's villa. When the cat is gone, the mice come out to play. And, Maurice turns the villa into a posh hotel for 11 months of the year. Guests staying there now include some young college girls. Among them is Sandy Stevens (Sandra Dee); and camping out nearby are some American college guys touring Europe. Bobby Darin is one of them – Tony. The film has some very funny scenes, and plenty of witty lines. Suffice it to say that the two generations clash at times, and the "older" folks pick up some pearls of wisdom from the younger ones. In the end, love triumphs, and Robert and Lisa tie the knot. I correctly guessed the last scene, which should give everyone a smile. This is a film that everyone should enjoy. Here are some sample lines of dialog. Robert, "Teenagers are like the H bomb. When they go off, it's better to observe them from a distance."Maurice, "She loves you. She wants to marry you." Robert, "Yeah, she has a funny way of showing it." Maurice, "Women are emotional, She's been hurt. She wants time to think." Robert, "Yeah, well, I want to go back to America where people get married without thinking."Lisa, "Why be miserable with someone you don't love? It's better to be miserable with someone you do love."

Chrissy Blasko This is a classic movie. It is filmed in Italy and showcases some beautiful sites. The cast is chosen wisely. Rock and Gina are stunning together. They also showcase their own comedic elements which is refreshing to see. They make Italian references which are quite funny too. The movie is a great asset to buy. It is around $8.49 which is a great deal. This is a great investment financially. Overall, this movie has elements of comedy, romance, friendship, etc. There is everything for the whole family to see and its appropriate for little kids to watch. Check out the filming locations!

bkoganbing Come September is the first of two films that Rock Hudson co-starred with Gina Lollabrigida and it's the story of a man who comes only in September to Italy to spend time at his villa where his factotum, Walter Slezak has things in hand. That he has, since Hudson only shows up in the fall for a few weeks, why let this beautiful grand villa go to waste. So Slezak for years has been turning it into a hotel and turning a few bucks doing it. This summer though Hudson shows up early and boy is he surprised to find a group of teenage girls, Sandra Dee and friends chaperoned by Brenda DaBanzie staying there.Things are compounded worse when DaBanzie does a Woman Who Came to Dinner number and slips on a champagne cork after being given an eviction by the irate Hudson. Now she can't move. She and the girls are stuck there.But Slezak is not the only one creating problems for Rock. For years he's been taking fiancé Gina Lollabrigida for granted and now she's set to marry the v-e-d-d-y proper British Ronald Howard. Add to that some boys led by Bobby Darin also arrive with reservations at the Hudson hotel. In fact in one of his earliest screen roles, young law student Joel Grey rightly informs Hudson the group might sue if their reservations aren't honored.It's quite a mess as you can see, but in these comedies things do have a way of working out. Personally I think the guy who should have been sued is Slezak.Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee met and were fated to be mated as it were. Darin also gets to sing one of his classic hits, Multiplication on the sound track. He was quite a talent, what a very sad and early loss Bobby Darin was.Though the story is too silly at times, Rock and Gina have a nice working chemistry together. I rather liked them better in Strange Bedfellows. This one's all right though.
