Question
I am looking for a name of a film. It was an early 60''s comedy with a leading man like Peck. it started in Milan in the Perrelli building. The leading man gets in his Bentley and gose to his villa on the Italian Riviera. When he is away his staff rents out the villa as a hotel.

Answer
Hello Vincent,

That sounds like the 1961 romantic comedy "Come September", which starred Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee.

Story Outline: "Wealthy industrialist Robert Talbot (Rock Hudson) arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious Italian villa to find three problems lying in wait for him. Firstly, his long-time girlfriend Lisa Fellini Gina Lollobrigida) has given up waiting for him to pop the question and has decided to marry another man. Secondly, the major domo of his villa, Maurice Clavell, has turned the estate into a posh hotel to make some easy money while the boss isn't around. And, finally, the current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys, led by Tony (Bobby Darin), who are 'laying siege' at the outer walls of the villa. Talbot, to his own surprise, finds himself becoming an overprotective chaperone."
