But this year he arrives early and gets a surprise -- his money-grubbing overseer has turned the villa into a hotel in his absence. Infuriated, Talbot is ready to kick his teenage guests out at first -- until he unexpectedly takes on the role of chaperon. Meanwhile, the playboy fights to save his on-the-rocks relationship with feisty Italian Lisa Fellini (Gina Lollobrigida).

Lollobrigida always seemed to be in the shadow of Sophia Loren, yet she was her own force.Terrific at comedy, she takes over the screen whenever she is on, and dominates in the best ways.

Some lovely visuals -- the Italian Riviera, Gina Lollobrigida, and Rock Hudson -- are at the service of this soufflé-light comedy.

Standard, semi-stupid '60s sex comedy, but Rock and Gina make a comely pair.

One of my favorite 60's comedies. Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida are magic.

Light comedy and easily forgettable. Just another silly picture from the 60s.
