(DVD, Fox)
Three single American women in Rome working at the same company look for romance. The newly arrived secretary contrives to win the heart of a wealthy prince and playboy; her older coworker falls for a local boy who shows her the customs of the Italian countryside; and finally their boss agrees to marry a lonely aging novelist while typing his latest work. Colorful location shooting is a highlight, though even that is occasionally marred by obvious back projection, but the dated, sexist plot is almost unbearable to watch.
