Gidget Goes to Rome

1963 · 104 min

A sunny, featherweight teen romp through postcard Rome, all jealous pouts and harmless mischief, made for easy smiles rather than suspense.

Tagline
That new Gidget on the loose!...and Rome's on the run!
Overview
Francis, now 17, is still in love with Moondoggy. She can persuade her parents to allow them a journey to Rome, together with two of her and two of his friends. However they have to take an adult with them, so they choose Peter's eccentric aunt. In Rome they get the beautiful guide Daniela, who's fascinating the guys and making especially Gidget jealous. She starts looking elsewhere herself.
