Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaItems in the NYT incorrectly identified the film as singer Bobby Darin's cinematic debut as Darin had previously appeared in Pepe (1960). On set, he met and fell in love with co-star Sandra Dee, and the two quickly married in early Dec 1960. Their experience on Come September (1961) was depicted in the Bobby Darin biography Beyond the Sea (2004).
- GoofsAfter Walter Slezak walks behind Rock Hudson into the mansion foyer, he says to Hudson "I'll take your rooms to your bag," after which one can notice the peculiar reaction of Hudson.
- Quotes
Lisa Helena Fellini: How could I be that stupid? You're wealthy, good-looking, intelligent, charming! I should have known better than to get mixed up with someone like that.
Robert L. Talbot: You're not making any sense.
Lisa Helena Fellini: I don't have to make sense. I'm Italian!

Featured review
Reflective of the time period, and its comedy style of film-making
Beautiful locations, beautiful people, beautiful cinematography and glossy direction, combine with a pedestrian script to create a satisfactory viewing experience.
Rock is Rock, and Gina is Gina, and the two manage to spice up an extremely predictable storyline. The dialogue adheres closely to basic early 60s comedy requirements. Cute and polite sexuality is tossed into a situation driven by confusion that could easily be avoided if characters would simply ask the logical questions.
Darren and Dee surprisingly have little chemistry, considering this is the film that began their real-life relationship.
Minor complaint.......the final shot telegraphed its conclusion the minute the happy couple drove up to the villa. I said to myself, there are going to be ________ at the table, and sure enough, I was correct.
The casting of the college kids is bland, I suppose in order not to overshadow Darren and Dee.
