Come September (1961)

I have a lifelong crush on Rock Hudson and it just continues here. He’s an American millionaire whose Italian girlfriend, Gina Lollobrigida, has decided she is sick of waiting for him and prepares to marry someone else, so Rock changes his plans and visits Italy in July instead of the usual September. Unbeknownst to him, the majordomo who looks after his Italian estate (played wonderfully by Walter Slezak) turns the villa into a hotel whenever Rock is away. It’s a hilarious romp where the older couple is forced to contend with the presence of a gaggle of teenage girls and the college-aged boys they attract. There’s also tons of beautiful Italian scenery to view while also watching Rock outmaneuver the boys while dealing with his own hypocritical views when dealing with the female of the species.
