To Troy

I want to say something more about this film because it deserves more than I am saying right now. However, I just tonight heard the news about you. This film is a little away from the mold of A SUMMER PLACE, PARRISH and SUSAN SLADE also directed by Delmar Daves personally for you. Daves definitely saw something in you that the critics didn't. But there are a lot of us out there who also saw what director Daves saw. You represented that slightly shy, slightly naive brooding All-American youth that somehow outlived his usefulness on the screen many years ago. You had your day in the sun however short-lived that time was. Yet you brought many of us happiness and a hope for the future. You thrived at a time that was so fleeting that one wonders if it ever really existed. This film is the proof that those times did really once exist. ROME ADVENTURE's images hold perhaps your best performance. You held your ground convincingly in scenes with the virile Rossano Brazzi. You looked like the worldly traveler as you toured Italy with Suzanne Pleshette. You looked like the seasoned lover in your scenes with Angie Dickinson. You did it all in a way that no one else could. My daughter was only 6 or 7 years old in 1993 but you were the first movie star that she ever took notice of and liked. I always found that amazing and that is a memory that nobody can take away. In our household you were not a heartthrob. You were an actor and real person. I'll admit that she kind of grew out of your films of late. But tonight I saw a tear in her eye and I am sure she is not alone. It was very strange, earlier today we were driving by the Congregational Church in Essex where the wedding scenes for PARRISH were filmed and we stopped a few minutes just to take notice. I now wonder about those few minutes. The day is coming to an end. It is dark outside now. Tonight I will think of all those that were touched by you. You will be missed. Godspeed.

Beautiful scenery, romantic story, a MUST SEE!

"Rome Adventure" showcases so much Italian scenery that you will want to hop on a plane and go there! Suzanne Pleshette is fabulous as Prudence Bell, a former librarian in search of love in Italy. Troy Donahue, who is not exactly known for his fine acting skills, really does pretty well in his role as Don Porter, the man Prudence falls for. Constance Ford is great as Prudence's boss, Daisy. Hampton Francher plays the nerdy but loveable Albert Stillwell so well that part of you will want Prudence to fall for him in the end over Donahue. The storyline is a bit predictable at times, but the characters are all so likeable that you can watch this film again and again and never get bored! I echo the sentiment of the other reviewer who begs for this film, along with other classics like "Parrish", "A Summer Place" and "Susan Slade" to please be made available on DVD by Warner Brothers!!!!

a "must see" before a trip to the Eternal City

Rossano Brassi's performance is wonderful; the farewell to the cruise ship passengers sets the tone for the bygone days of travel at sea; the fashion is great--men in suits and ties and women in thier travelling suits--the shots of Rome's monuments are unforgettable-especially the Vespa ride around the Coliseum--the movie is worthwhile just to see and hear Al Hirt's perform in a Rome music venue---I watch this film over and over---

AL DI LA

Sorry, but the original song AL DI LA is by Emilio Periccolli, and you can find it in a CD callled Italianissimo II, which you can actually buy from Amazon.com This is the song from the film!
