Product Description

Rock Hudson stars with the ravishing Gina Lollobrigida in a racy, romantic romp (Motion Picture Herald) set on the breathtaking Italian Riviera.

Every September, this successful New York businessman (Hudson) visits his Italian villa to relax and to romance his Roman girlfriend (Lollobrigida). But after arriving unannounced one July day, he s in for a huge surprise! During his absence, the luxurious home has become a hotel. What s more, the current guest list accommodates a gaggle of American girls with persistent boys pinning after them. In a desperate attempt to regain control, Hudson manages to lose his privacy, his girlfriend and his mind until he comes up with a plan of his own.

This is the film in which Bobby Darin not only makes his feature debut, but also ends up marrying his lovely co-star, Sandra Dee, just ten days after filming wrapped. Come September also features beautiful camerawork by Greta Garbo s favorite cinematographer, William Davis, with designer Morton Haack creating Ms. Lollobrigida s exquisite gowns.

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

A Classic Comedy, and Deservedly So.......2007-02-08

Once upon a time a fabulous group of actors got together to star in a frothy comedy set in the Italian Riviera: Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin, Walter Zlezak, Brenda De Banzie, Joel Grey. It was 1960, in America we were dreaming of Camelot, and in sunny Italy a new prosperity was making life easier for most people. Those were, indeed, happier days. I look at this film with tremendous nostalgia. Everything in it is just about perfect. Rock reveals his gift for comedy in a very natural, spontaneous way. Gina is absolutely stunning: a perfect beauty, an ideal woman. The locations used for the film, at Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino, are breathtaking. A film I always go back to. This is a world I would like to inhabit.

In love with love........2007-01-04

I had heard that 'Come September' was a great movie, but I couldn't find it anywhere in town. [I live in Anchorage, AK, so it's kind of a quandry as to why I couldn't find it.] Anyhow, I found it on here, it was delivered quickly, and I loved it! It's one of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen.

Don't wait for September.......2006-06-27

A classic movie offering. Enjoy Bobby Darins screen debut with future wife Sandra Dee. Rock Hudson and Gina Lollabrigida make a fine couple as a counterpoint. Many laughs, some singing and romantic moments make this a good pick. Don't wait for September, see it now.

Comfort Food Movie.......2006-03-17

Scenery was fabulous; makes one want to travel the coast of Italy right away! A Romantic Comedy much like so many other 1960's Romantic Comedies: innocent & kind of screwball at the same time. Women are always dressed just so, and the leading men always handsome. Nice movie to watch after a long day!

Roy is an outspoken critic of India's nuclear weapons testing and the U.S. "war on terrorism."
