Summary: A Hudson/Lollobrigida Classic!
Review: A wealthy tycoon,with many abodes, only visits his place (and part-time girlfriend) on the Italian Riveria once each year, in September. This year he arrives early to discover that his caretaker/major domo has been operating his villa as a hotel the other eleven months. And, his girlfriend (Gina Lollobrigida) is about to be married to someone else. To add to the distress, the current guests in the hotel include a group of nuns who are chaperoning three young females. Now, add three college boys in a Jeep with romance on their minds and you have the makings of a great comedy. Some vocals by the late Bobby Darin and a look at a young Joel Grey of Broadway fame. All around a great comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: September continued
Review: Come September is a unique comedy, sparkling with the touch of the Italian summer, American opulence and oriental moods. A must see for people who love cinema and want to keep smiling.

This escapist saga is about two people who are in love but cannot get married due to various reasons, the principal onebeing the hero's unprepared ness. Paradoxically, the time he really decides to tie the knot, he faces the most bizzare week of his life which leads to another September, god knows, how many more.

The best part of the film is that it leaves a lot to the imagination, at at the same time guarantees that you go home feeling good, having spent some quality time. Icing on the cake is the beautiful Italian landscape , it evokes both a sense of grandeur and nostalgia, though Mulligan has ensured that the film does not become a tourist's guide to the south of Italy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, CLEAN entertainment.
Review: Gosh, what can you say. This is a lighthearted, fun film with Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Sandra Dee, and Bobby Darin. It starts out with the rich owner of a villa in Italy (Hudson) discovering that his household help rents his villa out as a hotel when he is away. He is stuck with some teenage American girls and their chaparone for a couple of days. Bobby Darin and his college buddies sleep in tents outside and chase the girls. As it turns out, Rock and Bobby are very much alike. In the end, everyone is happy. You get the treat of a Bobby Darin performance along the way - "Multiplication" and the theme song "Come September". FYI - Sandra Dee and Bobby met on the set and married before the film was released. They have one child - Dodd Darin. They divorced in 1967, six years before Bobby died. Whoops! too sad... Anyway, Rock and Bobby are both lucious in this film - and the girls aren't bad either (if that's what you like). A film that's fun & delightful and sure to please. BUY IT NOW!!!!

Summary: A Touch of Summer Breeze
Review: I always got such pleasure watching movies with Sandra Dee. This was a time when movies were innocent, fun and made you wish you were there to join in the fun and know what it's really like to be a teenager.

I have always been a fan of Bobby Darin's and I just ordered the CD on his songs, especially the one for Dream Lover. Another great has passed on. Heaven will be getting another angel.

Rest in peace Sandra Dee.


A Fan.

Summary: Wonderful, CLEAN entertainment.
Review: I used to watch this movie when the local stations would play it just before school started each year. For years I have waited for it to show again so that I could tape it, but to no avail. When I saw it was out for sale, I purchased it immediately. Then, since I hadn't seen it in many years, I feared that I would be disappointed. I wasn't. It is as fun as I remembered. I recommend this film to everyone. A great romantic commedy for the whole family.

Summary: Gee mister, she's a beaut.
Review: Robert Talbot (Rock Hudson) returns to his Villa as he does every September. He naturally expects Lisa (Gina Lollobrigida) to be waiting for him as usual. Of course she has different ideas.

When he is away Maurice (Walter Slezak) uses the villa as a Hotel. It is occupied by a tour group of American girls, a chaperone, which is sweet on Maurice, and Cedric (who is drunk). I think Cedric was a nice touch. Due to circumstances out of Roberts's control, he ends up chaperoning the girls.

Parallel to this a group of American Boys are heading for a hotel (Being the villa) that actually does not exist. They confront Rock Hudson on the road and antagonize him repeatedly referring to his car. "Gee mister she's a beaut". Later with no where to stay the boys camp out in front of the villa full of girls. To get Rock Hudson out of they're way thy try out drinking him and out running him.

Just as you thing Rock Hudson has the upper hand he pulls a faux pas. In an attempt to ward off Tony (Bobby Darin) he tells Sandra Dee that no man would buy something if he could get free samples. She tells Lisa and the fun begins.

There may be some formula scenes, but this is not a typical movie. Instead of a lot of separate personalities they work off of each other.

Summary: Yes Siree, you don't see many like that!
Review: This is one of the best classic comedy movies. If you are a fan of Gina Lollobrigida, chances are you won't be disappointed and will get to see her beauty and superb acting in this film. If you are a fan of Rock Hudson, then you will be delighted to see his humorous act in this movie. Nothing can be added to make this movie better than what it is now.

Come September is one of those very light, romantic, and comedy movies ever made. You can see this movie whenever you want a break from all the movies we get to see these days. If you will buy this DVD, I can assure you that you will see it many times and won't let dust settle on it like it happens to many of the DVDs on our shelves. Worth spending each and every penny on purchasing this title.. GO FOR IT!

You will love it.
