Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

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

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

writers_reign It's difficult to imagine just how far back you'd have to go to find a movie so predictable and done to death as this and even then it took four hacks masquerading as writers to cobble together the plot lines of several banal ideas. There's the one about the sugar daddy who turns up once a year until the girl in question has enough and decides to marry someone less affluent but more reliable i.e. dull; then the one about the enterprising major domo who, left to his own devices in a luxury villa for eleven months of the year, turns it into a hotel; the marriage plans and the hotel both fall by the wayside when, on a whim, the sugar daddy takes it into his head to turn up in July instead of September which allows a third plot line to lip in unobtrusively, this is the one where the playboy suddenly turns chaperone and real father- figure to the late-teenage girls spending their vacation as 'guests' at the hotel who are suddenly being stalked by a similar group of boys, also on vacation. Worse plots have delivered an entertaining hour or so in the local Roxy but invariably they have been animated by people like Cary Grant, Ray Milland, Irene Dunne, Claudette Colbert and the like whilst this dross has to settle for Rock Hudson, Gina Lollabridgida and Bobby Darin. Truly, send in the clowns. Don't waste time you could spend washing your hair on this.

teleadm-persson 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

Anirudha Bhattacharjee 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

dbarton-1 This picture is a picture postcard on film--everything is beautiful, the scenery and the actors. The acting is adequate--Sleazak and Lollabridgida are excellent. Hudson does an OK job, he's more eye candy than anything, but then again this is not Shakespeare you are watching. What I found interesting was the generational conflict between the Hudson/Lollabridgida generation and Darren/Dee generation. Up to this time everyone seemed to looked to adults as models of deportment and style, in this movie we see that undergoing some change. It is particularly interesting considering modern times when young people are impressed by the likes of Brittany Spears, etc and not people of an older generation who know something of life. Anyway, when you get around to seeing this movie, don't think to hard about it, just sit back in a comfortable chair, with your favorite snack food and enjoy the scenery.
