Happy End im September (1961)
29KHappy End im September: Directed by Robert Mulligan. With Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin. Younger generation vs. “older” folks on vacation at an Italian villa.
“For some reason, this lightweight comedy from 1961 became something of an icon in India, where I come from. We were kids when it was first released but Bobby Darinu0026#39;s theme music became so popular that it was played practically everywhere for the next few years. I think the film was re-released three times between 1961 u0026amp; 1964 in Bangalore, with the locally edited trailers mistakenly adding footage from other films of the era like Palm Springs Weekend! I first saw the film as an 8-year old in 1963, but had to wait 28 more years before I saw it as an adult – on British TV in 1991. On the whole, I like this film as a period piece of what some people call u0026quot;Kennedy era entertainmentu0026quot; – lightweight, fluffy comedies that are nice to watch now and then.”
