Rome Adventure (DVD)

Tired of stuffy New England, Prudence Bell (Suzanne Pleshette in her first major film role) longs for a Rome Adventure. So she heads for the Eternal City and encounters a handsome student (Troy Donahue), a dashing older man (Rossano Brazzi) - and competition from a wily woman of the world (Angie Dickinson). In his fourth collaboration with Donahue (the first was A Summer Place), writer/director Delmer Daves again proves his skill at bringing the heartbreak and joys of romance to the movies. Here, Daves also lushly captures the incredible art and architecture of Rome. Then, in several beautiful scenes, his young lovers take a holiday to the Italian Alps, Verona, Pisa, Lake Maggiore and more breathtaking sights. How romantic is Rome Adventure? Well, stars Pleshette and Donahue married two years later!
