Disney Darlings, Tommy Kirk and Annette Funicello, star in this perfectly serviceable family adventure filmed entirely on-location in Florence and Sienna. The plot's pretty standard, a bit too kid friendly, if you ask me, but that's Disney! Overall, it's endearing, so I'll let it slide. The main draw here is just seeing cute, golly-gee Americans from Gary, Indiana traverse the historic streets of Fiorenza in semi-glorious Technicolor. Oh, and there's Bruno (Nino Castelnuovo), too, who Annette would be absolutely stupid not to marry.
