American mogul Robert Talbot (Rock Hudson) customarily spends the month of September in his lush Italian villa. 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).

Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network 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. Rated: B Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Some lovely visuals -- the Italian Riviera, Gina Lollobrigida, and Rock Hudson -- are at the service of this soufflé-light comedy. Rated: 3/4 Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Endearing romantic comedy, with gorgeous color photography of Italy. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Standard, semi-stupid '60s sex comedy, but Rock and Gina make a comely pair. Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3/5 Oct 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Mark B The film is as silly as Rock Hudson trying to look masterful in a performance so wooden, you could probably hear him creaking. But hey! Who cares? The gorgeous Gina Lollobrigida, "the most beautiful woman in the world," fills the screen and quite frankly, she could read out the telephone directory, and we would still love every second of it! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Nizar N Funny, great views, charismatic performances, beautiful cinematography… A very enjoyable watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It started out okay but honestly it was boring. I really couldn't get into it at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite 60's comedies. Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida are magic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard, semi-stupid '60s sex comedy, but Rock and Gina make a comely pair. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Light comedy and easily forgettable. Just another silly picture from the 60s. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
