Trivia
Items in the NYT incorrectly identified the film as singer Bobby Darin's cinematic debut as Darin had previously appeared in Pépé (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 Le rendez-vous de septembre (1961) was depicted in the Bobby Darin biography Las Vegas Boy (2004).

Goofs
Early in the film, the Jeep driven by the 4 young American guys goes off an embankment and lands in the waters of a lake or river, with the Jeep being nearly submerged in muddied waters. The Jeep, their clothing and attached luggage, are obviously waterlogged. And yet, the next day, the 4 guys show up at Robert Talbot's villa in this same Jeep - now clean as a whistle, with their clothing as well as their luggage all in pristine condition.

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!

We love the film and have watched it countless times. Last year we were lucky to find out where the location of Mr Talbot's "villa" was. It is in reality one of the most luxurious hotels in the world dominating the the hill overlooking the bay of Portofino in the Italian Riviera. The staff in the hotel confirmed that the film was shot there. However, when we view the film, the shots from the terrace down to the harbour don't quite line up, so we imagine that another location was also used. If you ever get to Portofino, it is worth the climb to see the view and the coffee wasn't as expensive as it was down in the harbour. Best wishes Peter and Ita Kay.
