"Teenagers are like the H-Bomb...you don't wanna be around when one goes off!"
15 April 2006
Rock Hudson plays a millionaire American businessman who returns to his Italian villa only to find that, in his absence, his valet has turned the palace into a hotel--and it is currently overrun with college kids on holiday. Lushly-produced tedium aimed squarely at the youth market; Hudson is portrayed as a stuffed-shirt who needs humanizing when anyone in their right mind would want these juveniles to vamoose! Bobby Darin falls for Sandra Dee, on-screen as in real-life, but neither gives a charismatic performance. Joel Grey, some 11 years before "Cabaret", shows up as an annoying pre-law student, while Gina Lollobrigida is mostly used for her fiery temper (she has no character to play and ends up shouting at everyone in Italian). *1/2 from ****
