Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Robert Talbot (Rock Hudson) is a rich American who only visits his Italian villa - and his mistress (Gina Lollobrigida) - one month a year, in September. When he arrives early one year, he's shocked to find his servant (Walter Slezak) has been using the place as a hotel while Robert is away. The current guests, a bunch of teenage girls, include Sandy (Sandra Dee) who soon falls for the charms of a brash young tourist (Bobby Darin). Robert starts to sort out the problem but becomes protective of the girls and his relationship with his girlfriend changes.This is a terrible movie. Okay, the scenery and wardrobe are gorgeous and Gina and Rock are, too, but the script is cringe-worthy and makes no sense. Robert could have evicted the girls in one minute and gone on to enjoy life with his lover, but instead he becomes fatherly toward them and suddenly the adults and kids all see the error of their ways and reform their romantic lives. Gina and Rock are so nice to look at that one can almost forgive them for being completely vapid, but they have no rapport and are forced to say ridiculous lines. Slezak is totally miscast as the comic-relief Italian butler. Darin is annoyingly off-putting and Dee just phones it in.With a better script, this could have been bright and funny, but as it is, it's tedious and disappointing.

I came to this picture expecting to only skip through parts of it.I had watched Kevin Spacey's "Beyond the Sea." That sent me to seek out Dodd Darin's book about his parents, Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. This autobio/bio (Dream Lovers:The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee), by the way, turned out to be one of the best written and compelling bios ever. Dodd Darin came across as so obviously a person of very high integrity and he wrote about his life and his parents with a very strong priority on finding and presenting the truth. So different from the many bs-laden, so-called autobiographys with all of their "composite characters" (code for I'm lying)littering the market.And then that book led me to want to watch "Come September." It was on this picture that Darin and Dee first met. It was also Bobby Darin's first role.So I was mainly curious to get insight about them and was prepared and expected to have to wade through a mostly boring comedy to do so.But, surprise on me, "Come September" turned out to be Terrific! Fantastic! Wonderful! The script was very sharp and clever. There were tons of extremely witty lines. The laughs just kept coming. Quite a few were of the laugh out loud variety.The film had great timing. It just kept zipping along delivering the entertainment big-time scene after scene.The casting was superb. Every part was maximized by the respective actor. Walter Slezak was excellent. He contributed a lot to the overall warmth and good-natured tone of the film. Gina Lollobrigida was stunningly beautiful. The cinematography of Italy was stunningly beautiful. This is just a truly first-rate film. Well worth seeing and well worth adding to a film library. It has also made me enthusiastic to search out other work by its very talented director, Robert Mulligan and its equally excellent screenwriter, Stanley Shapiro.

This movie actually becomes better with each viewing.The first time I thought it was a so-so 60's farce Though many scenes now might look old-time nonsense! This movie is actually directed by Mulligan who's next pic was To kill a Mockingbird!Gina is so much better in comedies than she ever was in biblical Movies (and that horrible Solmon and Sheba).Rock is Rock but on the light side! Even with a gray Rolls Royce.After watching Kevin Spacey movie about Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, This movie has sure become more interesting.Walter Slezsak is for once not playing a nazi, as if Conrad Viet would have lived, as a matter of fact I've never seen Walter in a nice guy role as this before.Brenda de Banzie has a small role too, I remember her in Man who knew too much" 1956 Hitchcock, aqnd olde English farce about shoemaker Hobson's choice

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 one being the hero's unpreparedness. Paradoxically, the time he really decides to tie the knot, he faces the most bizarre 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 Portofino and Italian Riviera.The film is a showcase for Lollos beauty and pneumatic appeal and Rock's masculinity. Assistance in the form of the comic skills of Walter Slezak makes this film a laugh riot in the climactic scenes. This is Lollobrigida's biggest hit in the US and India, and deservedly so; Rock Hudson makes a great partner for her, much as he was doing in this early 60's era with Doris Day in many films.Childish it may be, Come September is loved even today. I have spent many afternoons viewing the film and admiring the Italian sun.. it acts as an relaxant in my otherwise busy work schedule
