Gidget Goes to Rome was the third film to be inspired by the beach-happy characters created by Frederick Kohner back in the mid-1950s. This time, surfer gal Francie "Gidget" Lawrence is played by newcomer Cindy Carol. Per the title, the film finds Gidget vacationing in the Eternal City with faithful boyfriend Jeff, aka Moondoggie (James Darren). Chaperoning the pair is Aunt Albertina (Jessie Royce Landis), but that doesn't stop Gidge and Jeff from experiencing brief extracurricular flirtations

Nightmarish and absurd in equal portion.
Beautiful locations and Jessie Royce Landis is a treat.

The title of the movie describes most of the plot. Very much what you would expect, basically Gidget does teen stuff in Rome instead of the USA. A bit too silly, with over done subplots and the such.
